## Summary

Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is procuring servicing and maintenance for the building fire alarm systems at Sheffield Children’s Hospital in Sheffield. The requirement covers fire alarm systems (CPV 31625200) and is focused on keeping the hospital’s existing building fire alarms serviced and maintained. Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has a governance and oversight role in the procurement. The work is for the Children’s Trust’s hospital, rather than a general fire safety or alarm installation programme, so it is most relevant to businesses with experience maintaining fire alarm systems in occupied healthcare buildings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 26 October 2026 to Vigil Security Systems Ltd. The awarded value is £92,974 excluding VAT (£111,568.80 including VAT). The contract period runs from 5 November 2026 to 4 November 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing for a maximum period to 4 November 2031. There was one lot. Four bids were received, all from SMEs, and all four reached the final stage. The published procurement information does not describe the evaluation criteria or explain how bids were scored.

This award shows a defined requirement for ongoing fire alarm servicing and maintenance at a children’s hospital, delivered through a limited competition. Vigil Security Systems Ltd, an SME, was selected from four final-stage bidders, demonstrating that smaller specialist suppliers competed for and won the work. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need the technical capability and operational capacity to maintain building fire alarm systems reliably in a hospital environment, where work must support the continued functioning of an occupied healthcare site. Relevant experience with comparable fire alarm maintenance contracts would help establish that capability. The requirement is specific to servicing and maintenance of the hospital’s building fire alarms, rather than a broad facilities-management or new-system installation opportunity.
