Summary of the contracting process

The Western Health & Social Care Trust (WHSCT) has completed the procurement process for the service and maintenance of smoke and fire damper systems, with Safegard Systems selected as the supplier through a direct award. This contract, which falls under the services category in the public sector and relates to repair and maintenance services, spans from 1 February 2026 to 31 August 2030, with provisions for extensions until 2033. The procurement was conducted in Northern Ireland, under Northern Irish devolved regulations, and aims to ensure ongoing safety and functionality of smoke damper systems across WHSCT facilities in Londonderry.

This tender represents significant opportunity for businesses involved in maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in HVAC and fire safety systems. Given the focus on repair and routine maintenance, SMEs specialising in ventilation and safety systems can find growth potential through sub-contracting or partnership. Businesses that can demonstrate a responsive service and quality maintenance of such systems are well-suited to compete in similar contracts or extensions within the public healthcare sector. The renewal options and potential inclusion in regional contracts provide further avenues for sustained business engagement and development.
