Summary of the contracting process

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust procured works to fire doors serving a mortuary. The requirement falls within building and facilities management services and concerns the Trust’s hospital estate, with the buying organisation based at Lister Hospital, Coreys Mill Lane, Stevenage. The procurement was for a defined hospital facilities project rather than a broad estates management service. Businesses relevant to this requirement include contractors able to inspect, repair, replace or otherwise carry out fire-door works in an operational healthcare environment, subject to the technical scope set by the Trust. The named buyer is East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, which uses its Stevenage hospital site as the relevant location for the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition conducted in line with the Trust’s standing financial instructions. One lot was awarded to Alarm Communication Limited. The contract was signed on 29 April 2026, with a contract period from 6 May 2026 to 6 June 2026. The awarded value is £53,138.26 excluding VAT and £63,765.91 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is also active. Evaluation was conducted through the limited-competition route; the available procurement record identifies the method and scope but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown. The selected supplier is Alarm Communication Limited, based at The Shard, London.

For competitors, this award is evidence that the Trust purchases discrete mortuary fire-door works through a below-threshold limited competition, rather than only through large, open estates contracts. Suppliers best placed for comparable requirements will be those with practical fire-door installation, repair or remedial capability, suitable project management and the capacity to complete a focused hospital works package within a short delivery window. Familiarity with working safely around clinical or mortuary facilities would help a contractor demonstrate credibility, particularly where access, infection control, fire safety and disruption to hospital operations must be managed. Businesses monitoring this buyer should assess their ability to deliver specialist fire-door works for NHS premises and to respond effectively to future limited competitions of a similar nature.
