## Summary

The Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for fire door inspections and remedial work. This initiative, titled "Provision of Fire Door Inspections (Lot 1) and Fire Door Remedial Work (Lot 2)," falls under the services industry category and is intended to support passive fire protection measures across several regions in the United Kingdom, including UKF14 and adjacent areas. The preliminary market engagement (PME) document is available for download via an e-Tendering portal, with a key milestone due date scheduled for 14th November 2025. The contract is anticipated to commence on 1st September 2026, with the potential to extend until 31st August 2031. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in the PME to help shape the procurement process and address potential procurement challenges.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses involved in building inspection services and technical testing, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) that are equipped to provide specialised services in passive fire protection. The division of the contract into two distinct lots allows companies to bid for either the inspection or the remedial work separately, helping to mitigate conflicts of interest and fostering a more competitive landscape. Businesses that can demonstrate capability and experience in the sector will find this procurement opportunity a promising avenue for growth and engagement with public sector contracts.

## Notice

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Client) is conducting this PME exercise regarding the provision of a contract for both planned inspections and any reactive services (E.g. repairs, including any replacement required identified via the preceding inspection), of the existing fire door assets. The contract is required to ensure the relevant effective passive fire protection measures are in place across the Client's buildings to assist in preventing the spread of smoke and flames in the event of a building fire. The fire door survey shall identify defects or maintenance needs of the Client's fire door assets. To mitigate any potential conflict of interest risk, the Client is considering splitting the contract into Lots: - Lot 1: Fire Door Inspections - Lot 2: Fire Door Remedial Work Therefore, the Contractor appointed to Lot 1 would not be required to perform any repairs noted in the survey; its purpose is solely to highlight assets or parts thereof requiring attention. The Client would appoint a separate Contractor under Lot 2 to complete any remedial works. The purpose of this exercise is to gauge interest from the market, understand its capability to deliver the service and seek your views to inform any eventual procurement exercise undertaken by the Client. The objective is to identify and mitigate any potential issues to help ensure a "right first time" approach to any eventual procurement exercise.
