Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust procured maintenance of fire safety equipment across its estate in England. The requirement covered fire dampers, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, fire blankets, hydrants and dry riser assets. This is a specialist fire protection equipment maintenance service, including the ongoing inspection and maintenance of systems and equipment used to support fire safety in healthcare premises. The buyer is an NHS trust based in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. The procurement concerned services rather than equipment supply or construction works, although suppliers needed capability across several types of installed fire safety asset. The requirement was treated as a single package covering the full range of listed fire safety maintenance activities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited procedure without a prior published competition, using a mini-competition under the NHS-accredited SBS Hard Facilities Management 2 framework. Price was the stated award criterion. Two bids were received. The contract was awarded to Pyrotec Services Ltd, an SME, and signed on 25 August 2026. Its value is £522,536.88 including the stated contract value. The award is recorded as active. The package included two possible 12-month extensions. The tender record also marks the lot as cancelled, so the published outcome contains both a cancelled lot status and an active award. No separate awarded values or contract periods are provided.

This outcome indicates established NHS demand for planned and responsive maintenance across a broad fire-safety asset base, rather than a single specialist system. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable competence in fire dampers, emergency lighting, extinguishers, blankets, hydrants and dry risers, with the workforce, testing arrangements and geographic coverage to support healthcare sites across England. The evaluation was based on price, so effective cost control would matter alongside technical delivery. Access to the SBS Hard Facilities Management 2 framework, or the ability to qualify for the relevant NHS procurement route, would be important for competing through the same route. The incumbent’s SME status also shows that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider.
