Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured works to extend a fire escape at its facilities in England. The requirement is a building construction project, specifically a UTC fire escape extension, intended to improve or provide escape access to the hospital’s premises. The buyer is based in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. The awarded supplier was T & B (Contractors) Limited, an SME construction contractor. The work falls within the building construction category, with the practical requirement centred on construction and extension of fire-escape infrastructure rather than the supply of standalone equipment or routine maintenance services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 July 2026 to T & B (Contractors) Limited for £506,543.79 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 29 October 2026. The opportunity was procured as a direct award through the Pagabo Medium Works Framework, using a selective procedure and framework call-off route. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The stated minimum estimated value was £500,000 and the estimated procurement value was £506,543.79. The requirement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, despite the appointed supplier being recorded as an SME.

This award indicates demand from Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust for substantial, site-based building works involving fire-escape infrastructure. Future credible suppliers would need construction capability covering structural extension works, fire-escape access and associated building delivery in a live hospital environment. The route to market is significant: the buyer used the Pagabo Medium Works Framework, so businesses seeking comparable work would need access to the relevant framework or a route into an equivalent approved supply chain. The requirement is suited to established medium-works contractors able to manage specialist construction, health-sector site constraints, coordination, compliance and delivery within a defined programme. It provides a useful benchmark for suppliers preparing for similar hospital fire-safety projects.
