This process is specifically directed toward the continuation of firestopping works, categorized under construction and repair services. The contract relates to remedial works within plant rooms across the Trust. This is not a new tender opportunity but rather an extension of an existing project awarded without competition, below the threshold.

The transparency notice was published on 20th August 2025, with the contract signature expected by 2nd September 2025.
