The appointed provider(s) will be required to implement and support the delivery of Passive Fire Protection measures including; surveys, maintenance, remedial works, and new installations as may be necessary to achieve fire safety compliance as per any current and future applicable fire safety legislation.

Operatives Fire Door Installations and Maintenance/repairs to be BM Trada certified door installers (or approved equivalent) or will be qualified in the next two months.
