Catherine Grove
Boutique Care Homes · Deal, Kent
ProgrammeLate 2027Source checked28 Sept 2026Contract availabilityTo be qualified
RECOMMENDED FIRST MOVE
Use mail@boutiquecarehomes.co.uk to request routing through Tom Duck to Apex’s or the appointed M&E contractor’s commercial buyer; establish the care-home/bungalow package split.
Why this belongs in your brief
Boutique reports a March 2026 groundbreaking at Catherine Grove in Deal, with 83 bedrooms, seven retirement bungalows and a late-2027 opening target; Apex is principal contractor. The core territory match is Deal. For LRW Telecom, the relevant scope is Fire, warden-call/social-alarm, electrical and structured-cabling installation across the UK and Ireland where the package scope is actually suitable.
TARGET SCOPE
Ask the M&E buyer which fire, social-alarm or cabling work is in scope; do not relabel residential warden call as a clinical nurse-call system.
RELEVANT CAPABILITY
LRW publishes directly employed engineers, survey-to-handover delivery, warden-call/social-alarm installations and Cat 5/Cat 6 cabling across the UK and Ireland. That is relevant to a defined installation or cabling subcontract, subject to the exact life-safety platform and labour programme.
Timing and buying window
The mixed care-home and bungalow scope makes it important to distinguish clinical nurse call, any social-alarm requirement and ordinary electrical/cabling work. Ask for the actual buying window before setting a follow-up date.
