Summary of the contracting process

West London NHS Trust procured works to fully replace the emergency lighting system at Orchard MSU. The project includes installing a self-monitoring and testing system, together with anti-ligature fittings where required. Its purpose is to restore compliance with fire safety regulations after the existing emergency lighting system failed. This is an electrical installation project involving emergency lighting, electrical distribution equipment, testing arrangements and specialist fittings for a healthcare setting. West London NHS Trust is the buying organisation, with Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust managing procurement through NWLPS. The work is associated with Orchard MSU; the procurement data does not identify a wider delivery area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. DC Emergency Systems was selected on 7 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active, running from 8 September 2026 to 18 January 2027. Its value is £115,150 excluding VAT, or £145,559 including VAT. The requirement was treated as one completed lot covering the full emergency lighting replacement works. The award relates to electrical installation work for electrical distribution apparatus. This outcome records a direct award rather than a competitive tender, so there was no published competitive evaluation between bidders. The contract is currently held by DC Emergency Systems.

For a supplier targeting future NHS estates work, this procurement demonstrates demand for complete emergency lighting replacement in a mental health or healthcare environment where fire safety compliance and patient safety are central. A credible competitor would need to deliver electrical installation works, diagnose or replace failed emergency lighting, install self-monitoring and testing equipment, and provide anti-ligature fittings where the setting requires them. The successful supplier would also need to manage a focused works project within an operational healthcare site and demonstrate a practical understanding of statutory fire safety requirements, testing and handover. Experience delivering compliant emergency lighting schemes for NHS or similarly sensitive premises would strengthen a future response, even where the buying route is below threshold and non-competitive.
