UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust pertains to the direct award of a contract for the "STA WGH Access Control Site Wide" project. This award aims to replace and standardise the access control system across the trust's sites, with an installation carried out by Scutum Fire & Security Limited, who have previously worked on similar projects within the trust. The contract, valued at £324,693.92, is classified under goods and falls under the category of access control systems with the work commencing from 5th February 2026 and concluding on 30th December 2026. Although the tender process is complete, this direct award method serves as an extension to the existing provision and was predicated on technical reasons and urgency. Relevant documentation including the transparency notice was published on 3rd December 2025, with a future signature date scheduled for 22nd December 2025.

This procurement process highlights opportunities for businesses specialised in access control systems to enhance their market presence, particularly companies that have the expertise to meet technical requirements and deliver on urgent timelines. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), similar to Scutum Fire & Security Limited, who can demonstrate proficiency in maintaining uniform systems across large estates, may find themselves well-suited to participate in similar future projects. The engagement with a public authority like the NHS Trust can also aid businesses in gaining valuable experience and credentials within the central government procurement framework, presenting avenues for sustained business growth.
