## Summary

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust procured passive fire protection works for the first phase of the Water Mist Fire Protection System project at Charing Cross Hospital in London. The work covers remediating fire-protection shortcomings in the tower block’s lift and stairwell core, plus additional work needed to maintain fire-safety compliance. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust managed the procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Inner City Environmental Ltd. It was a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, and was structured as one lot. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £1,716,726.21 excluding VAT (£2,060,071.45 including VAT).

This award demonstrates demand from Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust for specialist passive fire protection work within a hospital tower, specifically fire-safety remediation around lift and stairwell cores and related measures needed to maintain compliance. Suppliers competing for comparable work for this buyer would need to show they can assess and remedy fire-protection shortcomings in complex building areas and deliver the associated compliance-focused works. The selected supplier is Inner City Environmental Ltd. The award was made without competition, so the published outcome does not reveal comparative evaluation criteria or establish which credentials secured selection.
