Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, in partnership with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, was focused on the "Fire Doors Replacement and Upgrade Works" project across Birmingham Women’s Hospital and Birmingham Children’s Hospital. This initiative is classified under the works category, particularly involving fire-prevention installation works. The procurement method adopted was an open, below threshold competition. The contract has been successfully awarded to Novus Property Solutions Ltd, a large-scale supplier. The process transitioned from the tender phase to the award and contract completion as of 18th November 2025, with the contract period running from 19th November 2025 to 30th September 2026. Located in Birmingham, United Kingdom (region UKG31), this project forms part of a series of phases that included planning, tender, and now the awarded contract phase. The value of the contract is £1,555,650 gross, thereby providing significant investment in infrastructure upgrades within this healthcare setting.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses involved in construction and fire-prevention installations. Although the primary supplier is a large entity, the tender process itself received strong interest from SMEs, with 16 bids in total, 11 of which came from SMEs, indicating a competitive environment. Companies specialising in bespoke fire door design, manufacturing, and installation would find this type of contract particularly aligned with their expertise. Participating in such projects can aid businesses in expanding their portfolios and demonstrating capabilities in delivering large-scale projects for critical public sector clients like the NHS. With the procurement process focusing on quality and compliance with stringent safety standards, businesses aiming to compete in this space should prioritise innovation and adaptability in their tender submissions to align with the Trust's specific requirements.
