Notice: 076866-2026 — Specialist fire compliance lots, with conflicting closing times
Buyer: Northamptonshire Partnership Homes
Screen: Potential fit · verify
Reason: Review Lot 5 against your full capability: it includes Type 1–4 assessments, FRA and fire-strategy reviews, and high-level compartmentation surveys. Offering Type 1 assessments alone does not establish a fit. Full-pack requirements and the closing-time conflict remain unresolved.
