Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust intends to procure planned preventative maintenance for the Building Management System (BMS) at Maidstone Hospital in Maidstone. The system uses Trend 963 software, so the work concerns maintaining that BMS rather than medical equipment, despite the classification attached to the procurement. The stated delivery postcode is ME16 9QQ. This is a works procurement focused on keeping the hospital’s building management system maintained. The scope described is limited to planned preventative maintenance; no further tasks or system components are set out.

The process is at the planning stage: the Trust has stated its intention to procure, but this record does not include an invitation to tender. The planned procurement is titled for 2027, but no contract dates, duration or estimated value are provided. The Trust’s stated engagement milestone has an end date of 28 September 2026; this is an expected end date for engagement, not a deadline to submit a bid. The early-engagement description says tender documents are to be published after expressions of interest close. No procurement procedure, award method, lot structure or evaluation criteria are set out here.

When the procurement reaches the market, it is likely to suit suppliers with the technical capability to carry out planned preventative maintenance on building management systems, particularly systems using Trend 963 software. Experience maintaining BMS installations in a hospital or other complex building environment would be relevant to assessing fit, although no specific experience requirement is stated. The work is described as maintenance, rather than supply or installation of a new system. The Trust has marked the procurement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses in those categories should take that stated position into account when considering whether to prepare. No accreditation, staffing level or other qualification is identified at this planning stage.
