Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured fire-stopping works for its healthcare estate. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of building installations, specifically the installation, repair or renewal of fire-stopping measures intended to maintain fire compartmentation and building safety. Work is associated with the Trust’s facilities in the Watford area, at the WD18 0HB delivery location in England. This is a construction and building-maintenance requirement rather than a supply-only purchase. The buying organisation is the West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The contract was directed through an established public-sector purchasing arrangement for the Trust’s fire-stopping requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award under the CCS Low Value Purchasing system RM6237, using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 4 September 2026 to Golden Thread Fire Delay Ltd for £70,370 including the stated GBP currency. The estimated procurement range was £70,000 to £70,370. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 10 December 2026. West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is the buyer and Golden Thread Fire Delay Ltd is the selected supplier. The process was classified as works and used a selective procurement method.

This award indicates a defined requirement for specialist fire-stopping delivery within an NHS hospital estate, with the work entrusted to a specialist SME supplier. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need practical expertise in fire-stopping works and building-installation maintenance, together with the ability to plan and deliver work safely in an operational healthcare environment. Relevant capability would include surveying affected building elements, specifying appropriate fire-stopping solutions, completing remedial works, and producing the evidence needed to demonstrate compliant installation. Contractors would also need sufficient resources to manage a concentrated programme across the Trust’s facilities, coordinate with site users and other building-services teams, and meet NHS expectations for safety, quality, documentation and disruption control.
