Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited procured maintenance of fire alarm and fire-detection systems across sites it manages. The service covers maintaining and repairing fire alarm systems and associated detection equipment, with delivery locations in Sunderland and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear. The buying organisation is based at Sunderland Royal Hospital. This is a specialist building-safety and fire-protection maintenance service, rather than a supply-only purchase of alarm equipment. The procurement was arranged as one lot covering the requirement. The awarded service is associated with sites managed by the buyer; the published delivery location for the award is Sunderland.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Honeywell Control Systems Limited on 5 October 2026. The awarded value is £462,595.28 excluding VAT (£555,114.33 including VAT). The contract period is recorded as 1 November 2026 to 30 October 2029, with an extension option allowing a maximum term of five years, to 30 October 2031. The tender used an open procedure. Bids were due by 1 September 2026, and the award decision period was scheduled to end on 1 October 2026. Price carried 60% of the evaluation weighting and quality 40%. The single lot was marked suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Four bids reached the final stage, including three from SMEs.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s fire-protection maintenance demand, the award demonstrates a requirement for planned maintenance and repair of fire alarm and detection systems across managed sites in Sunderland and Tyne and Wear. A credible competitor would need the technical capability and operational capacity to service installed systems reliably across multiple locations, alongside a strong quality case and a competitive price. The outcome shows that SMEs did compete successfully through to the final stage, although Honeywell Control Systems Limited was selected. The service’s multi-year scale favours providers able to sustain maintenance delivery over an extended period, rather than firms focused only on equipment supply or one-off repairs. Relevant experience maintaining fire alarm systems and coordinating work across hospital sites would be commercially pertinent.
