Summary of the contracting process

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust commissioned fire risk assessments for Lister Hospital in Stevenage. The requirement is a safety consultancy service covering the hospital’s fire risk assessment needs, supporting the Trust’s management of fire safety risks across its estate. The buying organisation is the Trust, a public-sector NHS body, and the delivery location is Lister Hospital, Coreys Mill Lane, Stevenage. The service is classified under CPV 79417000, safety consultancy services. This opportunity is therefore relevant to consultancies that provide fire risk assessments and related fire safety advice in operational healthcare premises, particularly firms able to work within a hospital environment and report findings to an NHS trust.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The Trust obtained three quotations in line with its standing financial instructions. Tetra Consulting Limited was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 5 June 2026 and runs from 8 June 2026 to 8 August 2026. Its value is £47,500 excluding VAT and £57,000 including VAT. The contract is active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete. The published outcome identifies Tetra Consulting Limited as the successful supplier. The route to award was limited competition below the applicable threshold, with quotations used to compare suppliers; the procurement data does not set out a separate weighted evaluation formula or detailed scoring basis.

For a competing supplier, this award shows that East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust buys defined fire risk assessment and safety consultancy services for Lister Hospital through a relatively focused, below-threshold quotation exercise. A credible provider would need demonstrable capability in fire risk assessments, strong understanding of fire safety in complex healthcare premises, and the capacity to complete and report the work within a short, tightly managed service period. Experience of working with NHS trusts or comparable hospitals would help establish familiarity with clinical environments, operational constraints, statutory responsibilities and stakeholder reporting. Suppliers should also be able to submit clear, competitive quotations for a self-contained hospital requirement and demonstrate the organisational capacity expected of a large professional consultancy competing for public-sector safety work.
