The requirement covers ongoing servicing, repair and maintenance of fire-alarm systems and firefighting equipment. This is a specialist fire-protection services contract delivered at the hospital in Cheltenham. The buying organisation is Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited, with Lifecycle Procurement Services acting as the procurement advisory service for Commercial Services Kent Limited. Businesses relevant to this requirement include fire alarm contractors, fire detection specialists and providers experienced in maintaining gas suppression and associated firefighting systems in operational healthcare premises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Protec Fire Detection Public Limited Company. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and comprised one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026, with a contract period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £64,903.05 excluding VAT and £77,883.66 including VAT. The award covers the fire alarm and gas suppression systems requirement for Cheltenham General Hospital. The recorded evaluation route was the decision to proceed by direct award without competition, rather than a competitive assessment of bids.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Gloucestershire Hospitals for planned maintenance and repair of fire alarm and gas suppression systems in a hospital environment. A credible future competitor would need specialist capability across fire detection, alarm systems, gas suppression and firefighting equipment, together with the operational capacity to maintain safety-critical systems in a live healthcare setting. Experience of responsive repairs and routine servicing would be relevant, as the requirement combines service and maintenance rather than a one-off installation. The selected supplier, Protec Fire Detection Public Limited Company, is recorded as a large organisation specialising in fire detection, indicating that scale and established technical capability can support delivery of this type of hospital contract.
