## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured works to partially replace its fire detection and alarm system. The requirement falls within electrical installation work and concerns the Trust’s estate associated with Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The work is classified as construction or engineering works rather than a supply-only or general services contract. The appointed supplier was Brunel Security Limited, a Leicester-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement therefore suits contractors able to survey, supply, install and integrate fire detection and alarm equipment within an NHS or comparable operational healthcare environment. Relevant firms are likely to include fire and security systems specialists, electrical installation contractors and building-services companies with the technical capacity to undertake partial system replacement while maintaining safety and continuity in an occupied hospital setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to Brunel Security Limited on 22 June 2026 and signed on the same date. It has a gross value of £51,140.33, or £42,616.94 excluding VAT. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 10 September 2026. The active award covers the partial replacement of the fire detection and alarm system and is categorised as electrical installation work. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. The procedure was conducted under the legal basis identified as UK Public General Act 2023/54. The award and contract relate to the single completed lot, with no competitive tender stage recorded.

This completed award provides a useful benchmark for firms pursuing comparable NHS fire-alarm replacement work. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in electrical installation and fire detection and alarm systems, including the ability to replace part of an existing installation rather than deliver only a new standalone system. Experience of working safely in a live hospital or similarly sensitive public building would be commercially relevant, particularly where works must be coordinated around clinical operations, access restrictions and continuity of protection. The requirement also demonstrates that Somerset NHS Foundation Trust uses a direct below-threshold route for a relatively contained specialist works package. Small and medium-sized security, fire systems and electrical contractors may therefore be well placed where they can provide competent installation teams, suitable equipment, project management and evidence of reliable delivery in healthcare settings.
