Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust procured a SmartScan Service Plus contract for 2026–27, covering lighting-related goods and building and facilities management services (CPV 79993000). The requirement is connected to the Lexica LED Lighting Q1308 Framework and is intended for the Trust’s estate in the Watford and wider West Hertfordshire area, with the recorded delivery location at WD18 0HB in the South East of England. The buyer is West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement is categorised as goods, indicating a requirement centred on supplying lighting products through a framework call-off rather than a standalone construction or general facilities management project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust awarded the contract to F W Thorpe Plc trading as Thorlux Lighting on 19 August 2026. The awarded value is £27,713, with the procurement’s stated minimum value at £27,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was evaluated through the framework call-off process. Participation was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. There were no lots reported, so the award covers the requirement as a single contract.

This award demonstrates an NHS trust requirement for a specialist SmartScan lighting service supplied through the Lexica LED Lighting Q1308 Framework. The successful supplier is a large lighting business, indicating that credible competitors for a future requirement would need established capability in LED lighting products and the SmartScan Service Plus offering, together with the operational capacity to support a hospital estate. Experience of supplying public-sector or healthcare environments would be commercially relevant, particularly where continuity, dependable service delivery and compatibility with an existing lighting framework matter. Framework access is central to the route used here, so suppliers should assess whether they can meet the framework’s eligibility and product requirements. Smaller businesses and VCSEs were not identified as suitable for this procurement.
