Start here · Construction
Rowley Bank care home
Avery Healthcare (operator pipeline); Abora Developments (developer) · Stafford, Staffordshire
Programme: March 2027 (current Avery pipeline)
Source checked: 2026-09-28
Target scope
Separate the nurse-call package, fire-alarm package and subsequent maintenance appointments. Offer only the discipline and phase still under consideration.
Why it fits
Stafford is a practical regional starting point for SRC; the March 2027 operator target makes construction-to-service responsibilities more useful to qualify than a broad new-build pitch.
Recommended first move
Email Kori at works@koriconstruction.com, requesting the Rowley Bank M&E commercial lead. Ask for an introduction to Avery’s estates contact if installation is fully appointed.
Timing
Avery’s published March 2027 target is a programme reference, not proof of an open order. Seek a handover timetable now; published room totals conflict.
Qualification questions
- Are fire alarms and nurse call procured together or by separate parties?
- Which manufacturers and service-access arrangements are specified?
- Who selects maintenance after handover, and what remains covered by the installer?
- Can you confirm the final room schedule before any scope is priced?
Prepare before contact
- A short schedule separating SRC’s installation, commissioning and ongoing-service responsibilities.
- An equipment-information request covering panel types, nurse-call architecture and handover documents.
Reasons to stop
- Both installation and ongoing maintenance are committed with no supplier review date.
- Specified equipment requires manufacturer access or competence SRC cannot demonstrate.
Published buyer routes
