## Summary

NHS Property Services Limited procured building works to replace the balustrade on the fire escape route from the building at Hartismere Hospital. The requirement is a site-based repair and replacement project involving a safety-critical building element and associated construction activity. The work is located at Hartismere Hospital in Suffolk. The buying organisation is NHS Property Services Limited, a public-sector organisation responsible for NHS property services. The procurement concerns works rather than the supply of standalone goods or professional advice. Its classification is building construction work (CPV 45210000), with the specific scope focused on replacing the fire-escape balustrade at the hospital.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Mixbrow Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £22,680 excluding VAT, or £27,216 including VAT. The selected supplier is responsible for the hospital fire-escape balustrade replacement works. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. This was a limited rather than open procedure, so the route to market involved a restricted competition among invited or selected suppliers rather than unrestricted submissions.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need practical building-construction capability focused on balustrades, fire-escape routes and related safety-critical fabric. Relevant experience of carrying out replacement works in an occupied or operational hospital environment would help demonstrate that the supplier can manage site constraints, protect users and coordinate safely with the NHS property client. Firms should be able to plan and deliver a defined, short-duration works package, provide competent site supervision and complete the installation to the required construction and safety standards. The award to an SME shows that the scale and delivery model can suit a focused building contractor rather than only a large national provider.
