Decision details

To accept the tender from Ventro Limited for the manufacture and installation of replacement timber fire doors within the domestic housing stock.

CBH is delivering a programme to upgrade fire doors across the portfolio with new certified fire doors to current standards, where required. This programme is now in the final year of the six-year programme.

To date the doors installed have been composite fire doors, however these are not suitable for certain situations, such as listed buildings and communal corridors. A new contractual provision is therefore required for the replacement of the timber fire doors to complete the programme.

Following a tender process, three tenders were received and evaluated; the submission from Ventro Ltd represents best value.
