UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured emergency door replacement for the EAU 2 modular building at its hospital site in Watford. The requirement is a facilities management and building service, covering the replacement of doors in an emergency accommodation unit. The buying organisation is the NHS Trust serving West Hertfordshire, with the work associated with Watford General Hospital, Vicarage Road, Watford. The procurement concerns services rather than the supply of standalone goods or construction of a new building. Its classification is building and facilities management services (CPV 79993000). The requirement is specific to maintaining or improving an existing modular healthcare facility and is relevant to businesses providing door replacement, modular building maintenance or related facilities management services in hospital environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition approved through a Trust waiver under its standing financial instructions. One lot was awarded to Portakabin Limited. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 2 July 2026. The contract period runs from 9 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £51,003.63 excluding VAT and £61,204.36 including VAT. The evaluation outcome resulted in Portakabin Limited being selected for the emergency door replacement requirement. This was a single-supplier award rather than a multi-lot or multi-supplier arrangement. The process was conducted under the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023, identified as 2023/54.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear market signal for suppliers monitoring NHS estate requirements. The buyer required a focused emergency door replacement service for a modular healthcare building, and the selected supplier was Portakabin Limited, a large business associated with modular buildings. Competitors seeking comparable work would need practical capability in door replacement and building or facilities management, with the operational ability to work on healthcare premises and within a short delivery window. Businesses with relevant modular-building maintenance experience may be particularly well placed, while specialist door contractors with suitable facilities-management capability could also be relevant. The limited-competition route indicates that suppliers need visibility with the Trust and credibility for targeted, below-threshold requirements.
