EST- Frameworks for Fire Doors and Passive Fire Safety

Health Service Executive (HSE)

## Summary The Health Service Executive (HSE) is procuring a framework agreement for the supply of fire doors and passive fire safety products. This restricted procedure aims to establish pre-qualified suppliers to meet the HSE’s ongoing maintenance and construction needs across Ireland.

## Scope & Deliverables - Supply of fire doors (including cores, leaves, frames, and hardware). - Supply of passive fire safety products (e.g., intumescent seals, fire stopping materials, dampers). - Delivery of goods to specified HSE locations nationwide. - Compliance with relevant Irish and European fire safety standards.

## Key Requirements - Eligibility: Must meet EU public procurement directives and Irish national regulations. - Qualifications: Evidence of financial standing and technical capacity to supply large volumes. - Certifications: Products must hold appropriate CE marking and relevant fire resistance certifications (e.g., EN 1634). - Experience: Demonstrated track record in supplying similar safety-critical building components to public or large private sector clients.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated Value: Not stated - Submission Deadline: Wed Aug 13 12:00:00 IST 2025 - Contract Duration: Not stated - Framework/DPS: Framework Agreement

## How to Bid - Submission Method: Electronic submission via the Irish Public Procurement Portal (eTenders). - Languages: English. - Key Documents: - Completed tender documents (Part I and Part II). - Financial and technical capability statements. - Product technical specifications and test reports. - Evidence of relevant certifications and past performance.

## Bid Considerations - Suitability: Best suited for established manufacturers or major distributors with robust logistics and compliance teams. - Opportunity: Access to a large, stable public-sector client base with consistent demand for safety-critical infrastructure. - Risk: High compliance burden; failure to meet strict fire safety standards results in immediate disqualification. - Complexity: Restricted procedure requires careful attention to selection criteria in the initial phase to advance to the negotiation stage.

Restricted procedure. A two-stage process: suppliers first complete a selection questionnaire (capacity, experience, financial standing), and only those who qualify are invited to submit a full tender. Plan for the pre-qualification stage well before the tender deadline.

Health Service Executive (HSE) has 236 tender(s) tracked on TenderScout, of which 20 are currently open. On the EU TED record this buyer has awarded 400 contract(s) worth around €3,627,848,444.
