Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospital Subsidiary Company procured clerk-of-works services for its hospital fire-alarm replacement scheme. The work covers retrospective inspection of completed fire-alarm packages, including identifying and closing out snags and de-snags. The wider scheme comprises 26 separate work packages and a main network loop, with work carried out in a live hospital environment. The requirement is therefore for oversight of fire-alarm works and their completion, rather than simply the supply of alarm equipment. Delivery is associated with Gloucester. The procurement is classified as a service, and the buyer identified it as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Constellia Limited. The award date was 12 October 2026, and the awarded contract value is £3,857,143. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender response deadline was 31 July 2026. The buyer used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The scheme is divided into 26 work packages plus the main network loop. The published procurement information does not state an evaluation basis, so suppliers cannot determine from these details how bids were scored or compared. The award is active.

For suppliers considering similar future work for this buyer, the award demonstrates demand for independent clerk-of-works oversight of fire-alarm replacement in a live hospital. A credible competitor would need practical fire-alarm project knowledge and the ability to inspect completed installation packages, identify defects and manage snagging through to close-out, while working safely around ongoing hospital operations. The scale involves coordination across numerous packages as well as a main network loop, so experience managing interfaces and maintaining consistent inspection across multiple work areas would be relevant. The route used was a framework call-off; suppliers would need access to an appropriate framework to compete through the same route. The buyer considered the procurement suitable for SMEs.
