Fire doorsets (including communal doors, entrance doors, and associated products)

LHC Procurement Group are seeking suitable suppliers for the upcoming FD9 - Fire Doors framework. This framework is the successor to our current C8 Communal Doors framework and has been retitled to better reflect its content.
