Summary of the contracting process

Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust procured anti-ligature doors and associated hardware for its Bluebell and Foxglove sites in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for the supply of armoured or reinforced doors, with the anti-ligature design intended for use in mental health estate environments. This is a goods procurement rather than a construction or installation contract. The named supplier is Safehinge Primera Limited, whose business is positioned to provide specialist anti-ligature door products and related hardware. Businesses operating in the manufacture, distribution or supply of secure healthcare doors and compatible hardware would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those serving NHS mental health facilities and comparable specialist estates requirements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Safehinge Primera Limited received the award on 4 September 2026 for GBP 107,878.16. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 6 November 2026. The requirement was evaluated and progressed within the framework call-off route rather than through an open standalone tender. The published procurement record identifies the award as active and the overall tender as complete. It was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award data records one supplier and one requirement covering the Bluebell and Foxglove sites.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it demonstrates demand from Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust for specialist anti-ligature doors and associated hardware across named mental health sites. A competitor preparing for comparable future requirements would need a product range designed for anti-ligature applications, capability to supply complete door-and-hardware packages, and an established route to NHS framework call-offs. The requirement indicates that the buyer purchases a defined, specialist goods package rather than general building materials. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence product suitability for secure mental health environments, reliable fulfilment across healthcare sites, and the commercial and operational capacity expected of a framework supplier.
