Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned one-off fire damper inspection and testing services for its hospital estate. The work falls within fire-prevention services and is centred on Lincoln County Hospital, Greetwell Road, Lincoln, LN2 5QY. The requirement is for specialist inspection and testing of fire dampers rather than general building works or equipment supply. Businesses operating in fire-safety compliance, passive fire protection, fire damper surveying or associated inspection services are the relevant market. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the stated site in Lincoln. The Trust is the buying organisation and the requirement is categorised as a service. The wording indicates a defined, standalone inspection and testing exercise for the Trust’s premises, rather than an ongoing wider facilities management contract.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 5 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 12 August 2026 to VENTRO LTD for £62,906.02 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 November 2026. The tender had an estimated value of £62,906.02. The Trust evaluated and procured the requirement as a fire-prevention service under the framework call-off route. The process was marked complete, and the award is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement, with no separate lots or alternative awardees described. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier assessing future demand from United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for fire damper inspection and testing within a hospital estate, sourced through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need specialist competence in fire damper inspection and testing, the ability to deliver passive fire-protection assurance at an operational healthcare site, and the capacity to complete a concentrated, site-based programme within a short contract window. Experience of working safely in hospital or similarly complex occupied premises would strengthen a future qualification, particularly where access, scheduling and records must be managed across a large estate. Suppliers should also be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route, since this buyer used a framework call-off rather than an open standalone procedure.
