Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust procured fire alarm servicing and maintenance for its NHS estate. The requirement is a service contract for maintaining fire alarm systems, rather than supplying standalone equipment. Delivery covers the Trust’s sites in Cumbria, Northumberland and Tyne and Wear. The named buyer is the NHS Foundation Trust, based in Newcastle upon Tyne. This is a defined, geographically spread maintenance requirement for organisations able to service fire alarm systems across the Trust’s estate.

The procurement is complete and awarded. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Honeywell Building Solutions was selected, with an award value of £597,961.65. The award date was 30 September 2026. The contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032. The tender deadline was 11 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot-by-lot award breakdown or evaluation criteria are set out in the published procurement details.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for fire alarm servicing and maintenance across an NHS Trust spanning three northern counties. Suppliers competing when this requirement next reaches the market would need the technical capability and operational capacity to maintain fire alarm systems across a geographically dispersed healthcare estate, with continuity of service over a sustained contract. The selected supplier’s success also shows that this work was placed through a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete through that route would be commercially important. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist providers may be credible competitors if they can meet the Trust-wide delivery demands.
