Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by Simply Serve Ltd, concerns the "Provision of Passive Fire Protection Surveys" under the industry category of fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services. The procurement took place in Yeovil, United Kingdom with an open procedure method. The primary contracting phase has progressed to the award stage, with key dates including the contract start on 4th March 2026, running through to 3rd September 2026, with the possibility of renewal for up to 30 additional months. The process involves Yeovil District Hospital and potentially other estates within the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, targeting passive fire protection surveys.
