UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is procuring services to service and maintain fire safety equipment. The scope covers fire suppression systems, fire extinguishers, fire alarm systems and fire detection equipment, including repair and maintenance activity. This is a specialist fire safety maintenance requirement for an NHS healthcare organisation, suited to suppliers able to support the Trust’s fire protection and detection infrastructure. The buyer is based in Wolverhampton. The procurement is categorised as a service contract and covers the complete fire equipment requirement within a single lot. Businesses offering planned servicing, inspection, testing, repair and maintenance of these types of fire safety systems should find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can work across a healthcare estate and maintain several equipment types under one arrangement.

The procurement reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. Bids could be submitted electronically through the Atamis portal, using the reference BCH26-010 Fire Servicing Tender. The deadline for enquiries was 14 October 2026 at 12:30, and the tender submission deadline was 14 October 2026 at 13:00. The contract period is scheduled from 25 November 2026 to 24 November 2028, with the possibility of two 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum period to 24 November 2030 and a total duration of no more than 48 months. The estimated value is £89,166 excluding VAT, or £108,000 including VAT. Quality and price each carry 50% of the evaluation weighting. The opportunity is one lot and is identified as suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity suits specialist fire protection and life-safety contractors with the technical capability to service and maintain suppression systems, extinguishers, fire alarms and detection equipment. Suppliers should be able to deliver reliable planned and reactive maintenance across multiple equipment categories, diagnose faults, complete repairs and support continued safe operation. Experience working in healthcare or other operational estates would be commercially relevant because the requirement concerns equipment supporting fire safety in an NHS environment. The single-lot structure favours a provider able to coordinate the full range of services rather than only one equipment type, although the procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Firms with established service teams, appropriate tools and testing capability, and capacity to provide sustained maintenance over a multi-year arrangement are likely to be best placed to compete.
