CSNPC - Repair & Replace Fire Door(s)

Central Swindon North Parish Council - CSNPC, is a local authority based in Wiltshire. CSNPC manage 13 community buildings (of various purposes and sizes) within the SN2 area (4 mile radius). As part of the Councils ongoing fire safety works program, numerous repairs and replacements are required to its fire doors in order to meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform Order 2005 and Fire Safety, England, Regulations 2022.

CSNPC are now seeking EOI from suitably qualified contractors with third party accreditation within the fire safety sector. The 'schedule of works' (SOW's) will be based upon the findings and recommendations from its fire door inspection regime, which has identified over 70 doors that require attention. Typical examples of the work types include the following:

a. Replacement fire doors and frames b. Replacement fire door ironmongery - hinges, locks etc c. Replacement intumescent strips and cold smoke seals d. Replacement overhead door closers

The Council now require an understanding of total project cost. With an understanding that the full project will be published for tender, and delivered over 1-2 financial years. It is likely works will be prioritised based upon the risks associated. Although the project is primarily a planned maintenance program, the client may offer works on a reactive basis.

Some devises such as door closers and locking mechanisms are electronic and connected to other systems such as fire detection and door entry. The contractor is to ensure that they have the relevant technical expertise to undertake works of this nature.
