UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured replacement fire alarms for its gynaecological offices at Medway Maritime Hospital, Windmill Road, Gillingham. The requirement covers burglar and fire alarm equipment, classified under CPV 31625000, and is primarily a goods purchase. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the identified work connected to the Trust’s hospital site in Gillingham. The buyer is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, a public-sector healthcare organisation. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate advertised work packages, and the scope is focused on replacing existing alarm provision in clinical office premises. Businesses operating in fire alarm supply, replacement and associated installation should recognise this as a healthcare-site equipment requirement rather than a general construction or broad facilities-management contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to E.SAUNDERS(MARGATE)LIMITED. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 12 June 2025 and runs from 31 March 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £27,320.45 excluding VAT, or £32,784.54 including VAT. One award was made for the complete requirement, with the supplier’s award status recorded as active and the contract status also active. The published procurement outcome therefore confirms a selected supplier and an agreed contract period and value. The stated procurement category is goods, covering burglar and fire alarm equipment for the replacement project.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Medway NHS Foundation Trust for replacement fire alarm equipment in gynaecological office accommodation. A credible future competitor would need to supply suitable burglar and fire alarm products and deliver replacement work in an operational hospital environment. Relevant capability includes understanding existing alarm installations, planning replacement activity around clinical premises, coordinating site access and maintaining safe, reliable alarm coverage during the work. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate practical experience of comparable fire alarm replacement or upgrade projects and the capacity to manage a complete single-site requirement. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of specialist healthcare estates work can be delivered by a smaller focused business rather than only a major national contractor.
