Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned security risk assessment services to prepare for Martyn’s Law across higher-risk areas within its group. The work covers clinical and operational environments including maternity units, mortuaries, pharmacy and aseptic facilities, emergency departments, urgent treatment centres, medical gas storage locations and laboratories. Assessments examine protective security measures, with particular focus on the coverage and capability of CCTV and the effectiveness of access control arrangements. The objective is to ensure that security measures are proportionate, effective and aligned with emerging requirements. This is a security services requirement delivered for the Trust in Lincoln, supporting specialist assessment of NHS healthcare premises and associated operational facilities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 19 August 2026 to Reflex Systems Limited. The award value is £21,600, matching the procurement’s estimated value, and the contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at noon. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open tender. The procurement is for services and was treated as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active. The recorded procurement classification is CPV 79710000, security services. The selected supplier is an SME based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS trust for structured protective security assessments across complex, higher-risk healthcare settings. Credible future suppliers would need experience assessing security risks in clinical and operational environments, including maternity, mortuary, pharmacy, emergency care, urgent treatment, laboratory and medical gas facilities. Practical expertise in reviewing CCTV coverage and capability, access control arrangements, proportionality and compliance with emerging protective-security requirements would be central. Suppliers should also understand how security controls operate in live healthcare environments, where patient care, staff access and operational continuity affect recommendations. The route to market was a framework call-off, so relevant framework membership or access, alongside the capacity to assess multiple specialist sites consistently, would be commercially important for competing for comparable requirements from this buyer.
