Durham Mount

Burghley Care · Durham, County Durham

ProgrammeWinter 2026Source checked28 Sept 2026Contract availabilityTo be qualified
RECOMMENDED FIRST MOVE

Contact Burghley Care via info@burghleycare.co.uk and request the development/estates lead responsible for this specific scope; the public inbox is not a confirmed buyer.

Why this belongs in your brief

Burghley Care’s current page advertises the 74-bed Durham Mount home at Mount Oswald for winter 2026. The core territory match is Durham. For Nortec Fire, the relevant scope is Fire-alarm handover, planned maintenance and proportionate system changes across the North East, Yorkshire and Cumbria.

TARGET SCOPE

A regional fire-system support introduction for handover, planned visits and agreed fault escalation.

RELEVANT CAPABILITY

Nortec’s care-home service names Paul as the sector contact and describes resident-aware installation, alarm work, extinguishers and planned support across its three published regions. That supports an initial conversation about resident access, planned attendance and continuity of regional support.

Timing and buying window

This is a near-opening introduction: installation may be committed, so prioritise handover and the operator’s support responsibilities. Ask for the actual buying window before setting a follow-up date.
