Support new lintel on 2No. 50x100 C24 Studs tied to timber frame.

Hello, I have been advised to go with the following lintel for an bi-fold door opening. 'Use 152x152UC30 with 8mm plate welded with 6mm fillet weld with full section galvanised after fabrication.' I understand this part. The following part is what I would like help understanding. 'Support new lintel on 2No. 50x100 C24 Studs tied to timber frame.' How do I support a steel lintel in this way, with a timber frame. I thought the lintel would sit on pad stones in the brickwork. Would anyone be able to advise? Thank you Neil (Update to question) The opening will be 338.5cm. This is a brick building. Still unsure of where the timber needs to be positioned to support the lintel. Will also see if my architect can shed some light. Thank you Roy Surveyors & Design and MacTaggart. Update, I spoke to my architect. Basically the answers below are correct. My architect thinks my wall structure is brick, cavity and a timber frame, not blocks for the inside wall. So the timber frame would go where there would normally be blocks to support the steel.
