Summary of the contracting process

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust commissioned the supply and installation of aluminium fire exit doors for its tower. This is a building works requirement involving the provision and fitting of fire doors, rather than a purchase of standalone materials. The delivery location is identified as SG1 4AB, in the United Kingdom. The Trust is based in Welwyn Garden City. The stated purpose is to provide tower fire exit doors; the procurement description does not give further technical specifications or identify the tower by name.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Craft Construction Ltd. The award was made on 22 September 2026, with a contract period running from 22 September to 21 October 2026. The awarded value is £295,000. The estimated procurement range was £275,000 to £295,000. The Trust used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 18 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was treated as a single works package, with no lots identified. The procurement states that it was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award information does not state a separate evaluation basis or scoring criteria.

This award shows that the Trust buys the supply and installation of aluminium fire exit doors for its tower through a framework call-off, with the requirement delivered as a focused building works package. For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to provide both the doors and installation, and to demonstrate that its products and work meet the relevant fire-safety and building requirements. The recorded route indicates that access to an appropriate framework is commercially important. The Trust marked this opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs, so the scale and procurement route point towards suppliers able to undertake a substantial, integrated supply-and-installation job and compete through the relevant framework. The award identifies no particular accreditation, capacity threshold or technical experience requirement.
