Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Fire Compartment". This initiative involves providing passive fire protection to six wards located on the first floor of Maidstone Hospital, situated in Hermitage Lane, Maidstone, ME16 9QQ, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the "Installation services of fire protection equipment" category with CPV code 51700000, and is classified under the "works" procurement category. The engagement end date is set for 5th August 2025, by which interested parties should submit their expressions of interest. This is an early engagement notice aimed at preparing for a forthcoming tender.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in the installation of fire protection equipment to engage with a prominent NHS Trust. Companies adept in delivering comprehensive fire safety solutions, particularly those with experience in healthcare environments, would find this opportunity well-suited to their expertise. Although the current stage is planning, preparing to address the specific requirements of hospital wards can position businesses advantageously when the tender moves to the following stages. Large enterprises with an established presence in the fire protection industry may particularly benefit, considering the preference indicated for non-SME and non-VCSE organisations.
