Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust involved an open tender for the provision of Building Fire Alarm Systems, Servicing, and Maintenance at all Trust sites, including community properties. The contract, valued at £360,000 gross, was awarded to Albion Detection Systems Limited. This process, managed by a central government public authority, progressed to the 'Award' stage on 22nd December 2025, with the contract period beginning on 1st February 2026 and projected to run until 31st January 2029, with options for two additional 12-month extensions. This contract aligns with industry categories such as fire-protection devices and repair and maintenance services, with the buyer headquartered in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

The tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in services related to fire-prevention systems and maintenance, particularly those capable of handling large-scale contracts for public health institutions. SME suppliers are particularly well-positioned, as the procurement process welcomed bids from smaller enterprises, evidenced by the fact that two SME bids reached the final stage. The awarded contract with the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust highlights the trust's commitment to enhanced safety and reliability standards across its facilities, creating a pivotal platform for businesses aiming to expand their influence within the healthcare sector's maintenance services industry.
