## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust commissioned remedial fire-damper works at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The work covers inspection of existing fire dampers, removal of incorrectly installed TEK screws and replacement with compliant rivet fixings in ventilation ductwork. It also includes associated testing, reporting and certification to address fire-safety compliance. This is ventilation installation and remedial engineering work within a hospital setting, rather than a general ventilation installation or equipment supply. The requirement applies across Musgrove Park Hospital; the trust is the buying organisation and the work is delivered at its Taunton hospital.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to R.T.S. Engineering (Somerset) Ltd. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 7 October to 6 November 2026. Its value is £28,051.99 excluding VAT (£33,662.39 including VAT). The procurement was a single lot, awarded as one contract. The published data does not state an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility conditions.

For firms specialising in fire-damper remediation and ventilation ductwork, this award demonstrates a hospital requirement for corrective fixing work tied to fire-safety compliance. A credible supplier would need to inspect installed dampers, identify non-compliant fixings, remove TEK screws, fit compliant rivets, and complete associated testing, reporting and certification. Relevant experience must therefore combine practical ventilation engineering with disciplined evidence of inspection and completed remedial work in an operational hospital environment. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate an evaluated tender or disclose selection criteria. It does show that the trust purchased a defined, focused package of remedial works from an engineering supplier; businesses with the technical capability and capacity to deliver that complete package are the closest match when this buyer’s requirement arises again.
