## Summary

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust commissioned works to upgrade the fire alarm system serving theatres, recovery areas and critical care facilities. The requirement is refurbishment and fire protection work, with the purpose of improving or renewing fire alarm infrastructure in a specialist healthcare setting. Delivery is in the East of England. The buying organisation is East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The scope is focused on fire alarm system upgrading rather than general building refurbishment, so it is most relevant to contractors that design, install, upgrade or maintain fire detection and alarm systems in hospitals and other complex operational buildings. Work in theatres, recovery and critical care areas is likely to require careful coordination around clinical operations and safety-critical infrastructure.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Protect and Detect Systems Limited was selected on 17 August 2026 for £60,000 including the stated procurement value, with the estimated range shown as £50,000 to £60,000. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 21 November 2026. It was a direct award under the GCA LVPS framework, reference RM6237, using a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is categorised as works and refurbishment. The award was made to one supplier. The published information describes the requirement and route to market but does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award is evidence that East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust purchases specialist fire alarm upgrading for high-dependency clinical areas through a public-sector framework route. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in fire detection and alarm refurbishment, experience working in hospitals or similarly safety-critical environments, and the capacity to coordinate intrusive works around theatres, recovery and critical care operations. It would also need to demonstrate competent installation, testing, commissioning and handover, with robust health and safety controls and clear records for the Trust. The selected provider is an SME, indicating that this type of specialist requirement can be delivered by a focused fire and security systems business rather than only by a major construction contractor. Framework access and compliant public-sector delivery experience would strengthen future competitiveness.
