Neptune Building Fire Doors

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Critical fire compartmentation works (specifically the retrospective upgrade and localised replacement of damaged fire doors in the stair core up to floor 4), identified in the December 2025 Fire Door Audit remain incomplete.

Without these works, the building cannot be safely opened to staff or students.

The doors in the central stair core form the primary internal means of escape.

Until they are correctly installed and compliant, the stair core cannot function as a protected escape route in the event of a fire, making the building unsafe for occupancy and preventing legal or safe use by staff, students or visitors.

It is therefore essential that all necessary fire compartmentation works are completed to the stair core (up to floor 4) in line with statutory fire safety requirements under Part B of the Building Regulations.

Works must be carried out to the highest standard to ensure full compliance with current fire safety legislation and guidance.

The appointment will cover the supply and installation of all new fire doors to the stair core (up to floor 4), including associated enabling works.

The contract is expected to run from February 2026 (immediate start) to completion by mid-March 2026, ensuring readiness for Student Union occupation.
