The framework will cover the design, manufacture, supply and installation of aluminium communal entrance doors all doors will be: • Designed to meet the requirements of the Building Regulations • Available in a range of design and access options to ensure Equality Act compliance • Available with a range of hardware, furniture and door entry and access control provisions • Compliant with relevant British standards including BS EN 14351-1 latest edition and BS 6375 latest edition. • Covered by a minimum 10-year guarantee • Secured by Design, Certisecure or Loss Prevention Certificate Board certified through PAS 24, STS 202 BR2 or LPS SR2/ 1175 • Vandal Resistance reducing maintenance costs for landlords • CE marked products to ensure conformity with health and safety and environmental standards • Available in 30 and 60 minute fire rated doorsets. In addition to the above listed, the framework will also cover maintenance of communal entrance doors and automatic operators with provision for responsive call outs. Maintenance options will include for basic and comprehensive maintenance covering planned preventative maintenance and responsive maintenance. Framework contractors have sufficient capacity and resource to attend responsive callout requests from the Contracting Authority for inoperable doors or doors requiring urgent repair . Contractors will attend to inoperable doors and doors failing to close within a 4-hour response period unless an alternative service level response is agreed during the framework call off process. Call off contracts via this framework will predominantly be for communal entrance door installation or maintenance however, door entry system installations will be permitted providing it forms part of a communal entrance door installation and or maintenance contract and does not form the core works to be awarded. Where door entry systems work outweighs communal entrance door requirements then Contracting Authorities should look to utilise EEM0037 - Door Entry & CCTV framework.
