## Summary

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured fire engineering services to support refurbishment works at Ward 14B on the Southport hospital site. The requirement falls within engineering services and concerns fire engineering input linked to a healthcare refurbishment project. The buyer is an NHS teaching hospital trust serving Mersey and West Lancashire. The work is therefore relevant to fire engineers, building-services consultancies and engineering practices able to advise on fire safety within hospital refurbishment schemes. Its focus is a defined hospital ward project rather than a general facilities-management service, so suppliers would need experience applying fire engineering expertise to refurbishment works in an operational or clinically sensitive healthcare setting. The awarded supplier, OFR Consultants Limited, is based in Manchester and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to OFR Consultants Limited. The award date is 7 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 August 2026 to 2 October 2026. Its value is £10,250 excluding VAT, or £12,300 including VAT. The procurement was below the relevant threshold, and its recorded method detail is “Below threshold - unknown”. There was one completed lot covering the fire engineering services. The award covers engineering services associated with the requirement, assessed through the procurement process that led to the active award. The contract remains active for its stated period, with OFR Consultants Limited identified as the sole awarded supplier.

This award provides a clear reference point for firms tracking NHS refurbishment demand in the Mersey and West Lancashire area. A credible future competitor would need practical fire engineering capability, the ability to support refurbishment design and delivery, and an understanding of the constraints associated with hospital environments. Relevant experience should include advising on fire safety for defined building projects and translating that advice into work that supports construction or refurbishment activity. The requirement was delivered by an SME consultancy, showing that this scale of specialist NHS assignment can be undertaken by a focused engineering practice rather than only a large multidisciplinary contractor. Fire engineering consultancies with healthcare experience, suitable technical resources and the capacity to deliver short, project-specific commissions would be the closest match when comparable requirements return.
