Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust bought replacement automatic double swing doors for its hospital in Liverpool. The work involved removing and taking away one existing double automatic door set, preparing the opening, and supplying and installing a new double swing door set. The installation included DFA127 operators, safety rails and a BDE programmer, with a RAL 7012 powder-coated finish. The supplier was required to test the doors and leave them working. This is a focused door replacement and installation project, rather than a wider building refurbishment. The relevant work category is door installation and associated components (CPV 45421100).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Whole Construction Services Limited, a Liverpool-based supplier. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and ran from 2 to 7 October 2026. Its value was £12,408.50 excluding VAT and £14,890.20 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the door replacement and installation. The award records the supplier and the works, but does not set out evaluation criteria or a comparative assessment basis; the route was a direct award rather than a competed tender.

For suppliers of automatic doors and associated installation work, this award shows a small, tightly scoped requirement at a Liverpool NHS hospital: remove an existing entrance set, prepare the opening, install a complete powered double swing door system, and test it in working order. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply and fit compatible operators, safety rails and programmer controls, provide the specified powder-coated finish, and manage removal and disposal of the old doors as part of the job. The direct, below-threshold route used here indicates this particular purchase was made without competition. The work is suited to a local door contractor able to deliver a complete replacement installation efficiently, rather than a supplier focused only on product supply.
