Enquiries had to be submitted by 7 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 12 October 2026 at 13:00.

The award decision was scheduled for 6 November 2026. Evaluation is 50% commercial, 40% technical quality and 10% social value; economic and technical selection requirements apply. This opportunity suits fire alarm and automatic fire detection maintenance specialists able to support a broad NHS estate and provide continuity across multiple types of healthcare and operational building.
