The intention is to undertake a phased program of works to replace the existing “traditional style” en-suite doors for an anti-ligature type, the agreed product will also identify the preferred standard for any future projects and capital schemes that are completed by NTWS on behalf of the trust. The initial requirement is for the supply of 330 doors.
