Gateway 1/2/3/4 Fire Door Replacement Programme – Resolution from Projects Sub Committee (27.01.20)

 

The Sub Committee considered a late paper from the Projects Sub Committee in respect of the speed at which the Fire Door Replacement Programme was being delivered.

 

Officers advised that all possible action was being taken to expedite matters but there was a process to adhere to and that the most appropriate approach was not necessarily the speediest.  A member also commented that there were so many factors impacting on the process including different types of door, some of which required testing by overseas contractors and other fire safety concerns not related to doors. 

 

The Sub Committee was satisfied that Officers were doing all possible to expedite the procurement process and

 

RESOLVED – That the importance attached by the Procurement Sub Committee  to the expeditious procurement and delivery of the City of London Corporation’s Fire Door Replacement Programme to ensure, as far as was possible, the highest standards of fire safety on the City’s housing estates, be noted.
