RECOMMENDED FIRST MOVE

Use admin@numadahealthcare.co.uk (Numada Healthcare) to request the person responsible for the proposed scope. This is a published business route, not proof that the inbox holder can award the work. Lead with: If the 14-bedroom extension progresses, who will specify and manage the connection between new compartments and the existing home?

Why this belongs in your brief

The Grange’s September sale announcement identifies an existing 26-bedroom home with consent for 14 additional bedrooms. Acorn’s published occupied-care-home experience supports a phased access discussion around an existing building and any future extension.

TARGET SCOPE

Establish whether the consented extension will proceed and, separately, whether the existing occupied home has a defined compartmentation survey scope.

RELEVANT CAPABILITY

Acorn’s published occupied-care-home experience supports a phased access discussion around an existing building and any future extension.

Timing and buying window

The September transaction is recent, but the 14-bedroom consent is not a construction programme. Separate existing-home support from any future extension and establish which, if either, the operator is considering.

Subject: The Grange Nursing Home: compartmentation and fire-stopping scope

Hello Numada Healthcare team,

The Grange’s September sale announcement identifies an existing 26-bedroom home with consent for 14 additional bedrooms. We undertake compartmentation surveys and passive-fire work, including fire stopping, barriers and protective boarding in care settings.

If the 14-bedroom extension progresses, who will specify and manage the connection between new compartments and the existing home?

Could you point us to the person who owns that decision and let us know whether this is a useful time for an introduction? If the scope is already covered, knowing the appropriate review point would help us avoid duplicating existing arrangements.

Wenham Holt / Liss care home · Liss

Barchester Healthcare | Construction | 2028

Target scope

Identify the fire-stopping and boarding package owner at the 64-bedroom Barchester build before concealment stages.

Kori’s September announcement confirms work on Barchester’s 64-bedroom Liss home, with completion expected during 2028. Acorn’s mix of fire stopping and protective boarding makes package boundaries important: a single enquiry should identify who owns each interface.

First move

Use works@koriconstruction.com (Kori Construction) to request the person responsible for the proposed scope. This is a published business route, not proof that the inbox holder can award the work. Lead with: Will penetrations and protective boarding be bought as a dedicated package or included within the M&E and drylining appointments?

Qualification questions

  • Will penetrations and protective boarding be bought as a dedicated package or included within the M&E and drylining appointments?
  • What evidence and inspection hold points are required before the relevant walls, ceilings or risers are closed?
  • Who can appoint this particular scope, what is already committed, and what is the next decision date?

Request the Whitford Gardens passive-fire buyer and inspection hold points through the named Kori project route.

Lead with: Who coordinates the penetration register across the trades at Whitford Gardens, and when are inspection hold points scheduled?

Former Mill Water School care-home development · Honiton

Undisclosed national care provider | Planning approved | Timetable to confirm

Target scope

Monitor the approved Honiton development for a named operator, builder and passive-fire procurement route.

The September announcement records the sale of the former Mill Water School site, with consent for a 70-bedroom care home; the buyer is unnamed. South of England coverage keeps the site geographically credible, but the missing project team makes relationship discovery the only justified step now.

First move

Email Sara Hartill at sara.hartill@christie.com to ask whether an introduction to the owner or project lead is possible. The adviser is not the procurement buyer. Lead with: Has a contractor or design team been appointed to develop the 70-bedroom consent, and who will own passive-fire coordination?

Qualification questions

  • Has a contractor or design team been appointed to develop the 70-bedroom consent, and who will own passive-fire coordination?
  • What evidence and inspection hold points are required before the relevant walls, ceilings or risers are closed?
  • Who is the authorised owner or project lead, and what programme or appointment has actually been confirmed?

Subject: Former Mill Water School care-home development: introduction to the relevant owner or project lead

Hi Sara,

The September announcement records the sale of the former Mill Water School site, with consent for a 70-bedroom care home; the buyer is unnamed. We undertake compartmentation surveys and passive-fire work, including fire stopping, barriers and protective boarding in care settings.

Would it be possible to forward a short introduction to the owner or relevant project lead? The initial question is: Has a contractor or design team been appointed to develop the 70-bedroom consent, and who will own passive-fire coordination?

We would like to establish whether there is a defined requirement and the right time to speak. We appreciate that the sale announcement does not establish a current supplier review.

Kind regards,
Acorn Passive Fire Protection

Next trigger: A named buyer, design team or contractor, followed by an actual programme or supplier route.

Greenlands Meadow · Taunton

Amica Care Trust | Pre-opening | Autumn 2026

Target scope

Qualify completion of compartmentation records and any explicitly identified follow-on work at Amica’s near-opening home.

Amica’s published Greenlands Meadow page targets autumn 2026 and says the marketing suite is open. Acorn’s survey and delivery capabilities can be relevant to an agreed close-out task, without assuming a new home needs remediation.

First move

Use greenlands@amicacare.co.uk (Amica Care Trust) to request the person responsible for the proposed scope. This is a published business route, not proof that the inbox holder can award the work. Lead with: Are passive-fire completion records accepted, and has any separate inspection or documented close-out scope been commissioned?

Qualification questions

  • Are passive-fire completion records accepted, and has any separate inspection or documented close-out scope been commissioned?
  • What evidence and inspection hold points are required before the relevant walls, ceilings or risers are closed?
