Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited commissioned works to replace the fire alarm system at Wath Health Centre. The requirement is a building-services and fire-safety installation project, classified as fire-alarm system installation work (CPV 45312100). The work concerns a single health-centre site and is intended to provide a replacement fire alarm installation for the facility. The public-sector buyer is NHS Property Services Limited, a sub-central public authority responsible for NHS property. This opportunity is relevant to fire alarm contractors, electrical and building-services businesses, and specialists able to carry out replacement installations in healthcare premises. The identified delivery location is Wath Health Centre.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition. Watsons Building Services Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 6 August 2026, when the contract was signed. The contract is active and runs from 5 October 2026 to 27 November 2026. Its value is £76,896 excluding VAT, or £92,275.20 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route; the published information identifies the successful supplier and the awarded contract value. The procurement therefore records a completed award for a short, defined fire alarm replacement project at Wath Health Centre.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Property Services for specialist fire-alarm replacement works in a health-centre environment. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need practical capability in fire alarm system installation and replacement, together with the operational capacity to deliver a defined works package within an occupied or operational healthcare property context. Experience of working safely around healthcare users, staff, estates teams and existing building systems would strengthen a supplier’s position, although the published award does not set out specific accreditations or technical qualifications. Watsons Building Services Limited is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of NHS property works package can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller building-services contractor through a limited competition.
