Congleton care-home development

Dunham Care · Congleton, Cheshire

ProgrammeQ4 2027 practical completion (funder target)Source checked28 Sept 2026Contract availabilityTo be qualified
RECOMMENDED FIRST MOVE

Use supplychain@mcgoffgroup.com to ask McGoff’s supply-chain team who owns this package and whether it is self-delivered by a group business or open to external specialists.

Why this belongs in your brief

McGoff described the 70-bed Congleton development as under construction in April 2026; the funder targets practical completion in Q4 2027. The core territory match is Congleton. For ABFS, the relevant scope is Fire detection and associated security/life-safety installation under a defined contractor or M&E scope.

TARGET SCOPE

Qualify the fire-detection subcontract and its interfaces with access control, refuge/WC alarms or other specified systems; do not assume a combined award.

RELEVANT CAPABILITY

ABFS’s Mossley Hill Hospital case describes a new 80-bed healthcare facility with more than 440 fire-alarm devices and separate aspirating detection, access and assistance-alarm work. That offers the commercial team tangible healthcare delivery evidence while leaving the care home’s actual detection design to its specification.

Timing and buying window

McGoff publishes a supplier-registration route, but its group also advertises self-delivery of mechanical, electrical, passive-fire and internal-finishes work. Ask for the actual buying window before setting a follow-up date. This is a group delivery model, not confirmation of the appointments on this particular site.

Subject: Congleton care-home development — fire-system package and service scope

Hi McGoff supply-chain team,

We design and install fire and security systems; our Mossley Hill Hospital project included the fire-detection package for a new 80-bed healthcare facility.

McGoff described the 70-bed Congleton development as under construction in April 2026; the funder targets practical completion in Q4 2027.

Could you confirm whether this scope is delivered by a McGoff group business, or whether the commercial team would consider an external specialist?

Who holds the fire-detection package and which interfaces sit with another M&E or security contractor?

If the requirement is already covered, a future review date or the right contact would be helpful.

Kind regards,
ABFS team

Warrington Road care-home development · Widnes

Danan Group | Planning approved | Timetable to confirm

Target scope

Early qualification only: establish the design team and programme for Fire detection and associated security/life-safety installation under a defined contractor or M&E scope. Do not prepare a speculative installation quotation.

The April 2026 sale announcement identifies Danan Group’s cleared Widnes site with consent for a 60-bedroom home. The core territory match is Widnes. For ABFS, the relevant scope is Fire detection and associated security/life-safety installation under a defined contractor or M&E scope.

First move

Use Danan Group’s official form at https://www.danangroup.co.uk/ to request the Widnes development lead and confirm the programme. If routing fails, ask Christie & Co adviser William Edwards to forward an introduction; neither route establishes a live tender.

Qualification questions

  • Has Danan appointed the design or construction team, and when will it define the relevant procurement scope?
  • Who holds the fire-detection package and which interfaces sit with another M&E or security contractor?
  • What design responsibility, device schedule, commissioning evidence and supplier onboarding are required?
  • What confirmed milestone would make a supplier introduction useful rather than premature?
