## Summary

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust is procuring secure fencing works for two areas at Fitzmary House, Bethlem Royal Hospital, Beckenham. The work covers removing existing timber perimeter fencing and designing, supplying and installing new secure fencing and gate systems. The proposed solution includes approximately 41.1 linear metres of 4-metre-high Fortress 80 secure fencing, associated foundations, pedestrian access gates and privacy screening or cloaking where indicated. The purpose is to improve patient safety, site security and boundary control for the Neuropsychiatric Unit. The fencing must have anti-climb characteristics and reduced ligature risk suitable for a mental health environment. This is a construction works opportunity focused on specialist security fencing, gates and related installation.

The procurement reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 29 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 6 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the buyer’s online portal. The contract is scheduled to run from 27 October 2026 to 27 October 2029, with renewal options described as a 3+1+1 measured-term contract and a maximum extent date of 27 October 2031. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. The single lot is evaluated on 50% commercial, 40% technical and 10% social criteria. The contract includes options and renewal provisions.

This opportunity suits fencing contractors and construction firms able to design and install high-security perimeter systems in a sensitive mental health setting. Relevant capability includes secure anti-climb fencing, controlled-access pedestrian gates, foundations, privacy screening and solutions that address ligature risk. Suppliers should be able to remove existing timber fencing, manage installation across identified hospital areas and deliver work suitable for patient-safety and site-security requirements. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, with participation reserved for those categories in Lambeth. It is likely to favour businesses with practical experience of security fencing, work in healthcare or other secure environments, and the capacity to deliver design, supply and installation as one service.
