Summary of the contracting process

Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust intends to procure maintenance services for its Thorlux emergency lighting systems. The work is described as maintenance of emergency lighting equipment and includes the repair and maintenance of electrical building installations (CPV 50711000). The procurement is for a three-year service contract. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the Trust is based in Carshalton, but the stated delivery location is not more specific. The Trust is seeking suppliers able to carry out maintenance on the emergency lighting system, with preliminary supplier engagement forming part of its planning.

The process is at planning: the Trust has stated its intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It expects a single contract, with an anticipated term from 20 November 2026 to 19 October 2029. The Trust scheduled supplier engagement about maintenance capability, due by 4 November 2026, and expected a subsequent notice on 13 November 2026. The stated procurement value is £0, so this should not be treated as an estimate of the likely contract spend. The procurement is described under the Procurement Act 2023, but no procedure or evaluation approach is set out at this stage. The service is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This work may suit electrical maintenance contractors with the practical capability to inspect, maintain and repair Thorlux emergency lighting installations. Suppliers with experience maintaining emergency lighting and electrical building systems should be well placed to engage with the Trust and help shape its requirements before the tender stage. The scope is focused on a named lighting system rather than a broader facilities-maintenance package, and the Trust specifically seeks suppliers able to carry out emergency-lighting maintenance. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller providers are considered appropriate participants. The planned three-year service term may suit firms able to provide ongoing maintenance, rather than one-off repair work. No particular accreditation, staffing level or technical standard is identified in the planning information.
