Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust commissioned works to modify the airlock at its Fiennes site in Banbury. The work is intended to make access compliant with disability access requirements after incidents involving people with mobility difficulties trying to reach the airlock, reception and waiting area. The requirement concerns building-installation work and fire-alarm system installation, at a recently completed project. The Trust is the buying organisation, and delivery is at Fiennes in Banbury. The changes are tied to the access route through the airlock and into reception and waiting facilities; this is a site-specific modification rather than a general building programme. The intended outcome is safer, compliant access for people with mobility needs.

The procurement is recorded as complete, with Executive Alarms selected for the works. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The requirement was structured as one lot. The award value is £33,588.67 excluding VAT, or £40,306.40 including VAT. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 October 2028. The procurement rationale says the same contractor needed to carry out the modification to protect the warranty on the recently completed project. No award date or evaluation basis is stated in the available process details. The award is recorded as pending, although the overall process is complete and the supplier has been selected.

For firms considering comparable future work for Oxford Health, this requirement indicates demand for targeted accessibility modifications at healthcare facilities, including adjustments to airlocks and routes into reception and waiting areas. Relevant delivery experience would include building-installation work and, where the airlock interface requires it, fire-alarm system installation. The buyer’s stated warranty concern is commercially important: a supplier’s credibility may depend on demonstrating familiarity with the original installation, or being able to work within its warranty conditions. This was a site-specific job rather than a broad refurbishment, so the ability to plan and execute a focused modification around an existing installation is pertinent. The work also responds to access difficulties affecting people with mobility needs.
