Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned fire engineering consultancy services for the refurbishment and conversion of the existing Prescott Ward at Cheltenham General Hospital. The work supports a revised Neurology and rehabilitation ward arrangement, including specialist advice on fire and explosion protection and control. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction works or the supply of equipment. Delivery is at Cheltenham General Hospital in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. The named buyer is Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Gloucester. The requirement is relevant to fire engineering consultancies with experience advising on healthcare refurbishment, ward conversion and the fire safety implications of changing clinical facilities and layouts.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust selected Coreus Group. The award was made on 24 July 2026 for £33,600, and the contract runs from 24 July 2026 to 24 July 2027. The requirement was procured through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. It is categorised as services, specifically fire and explosion protection and control consultancy. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and covers the full fire engineering consultancy requirement for the Prescott Ward project.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear example of the Trust’s need for specialist fire engineering input during hospital refurbishment and clinical ward conversion. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in fire safety design and consultancy, particularly where existing healthcare buildings are being reconfigured for neurology and rehabilitation use. Relevant capability includes assessing fire risks arising from altered layouts, supporting compliance and safety decisions, and working effectively with the wider design and project team. Smaller specialist consultancies are well placed to compete, as the requirement was expressly considered suitable for SMEs. Experience of NHS or comparable occupied healthcare environments would strengthen a supplier’s position.
