## Summary

Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured refurbishment works for the resuscitation area at its hospital in Harlow, England. The scope covers ductwork and fire and smoke dampers, supporting the safety and ventilation arrangements within the resuscitation area. This is a building-services and hospital refurbishment requirement rather than a general facilities-management contract. The procurement is classified as refurbishment work (CPV 45453100) and falls within the works category. The named public-sector buyer is Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, so relevant suppliers are those able to work on NHS hospital premises and deliver specialist ductwork, fire protection and associated refurbishment works in a clinical environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 September 2026 to R&B Refurbishment (Skafftec Ltd). It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, described as a direct award under SBS10166. The tender deadline was 25 August 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement range was £38,000 to £40,000. The awarded value was £39,396.03. The awarded contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. One supplier and one requirement are identified. The award is active, and the process was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded evaluation basis is the framework call-off route.

This award is useful market evidence for contractors providing hospital ductwork, fire dampers and smoke dampers, particularly those with refurbishment experience in live clinical settings. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the technical ability to install or alter ventilation ductwork and associated fire and smoke control equipment, while coordinating safely with hospital operations. The route to market is also significant: access to the relevant framework, and the ability to meet its call-off requirements, would be central to competing through the same purchasing route. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that a specialist smaller contractor can deliver this type of NHS works package when it has the necessary competence, capacity and framework standing.
