Summary of the contracting process

East And North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust procured maintenance services for the air-handling unit serving its radiopharmacy. The requirement falls within heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation and maintenance work (CPV 45331000), with delivery at the Trust’s site in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, and the wider East of England area. It was a hard facilities management requirement, focused on maintaining specialist ventilation infrastructure in a healthcare environment. The buyer is an NHS teaching trust based in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement was made through the Hard Facilities Management 2 framework, under its relevant hard facilities management lot, so the work is suited to suppliers already positioned to deliver facilities engineering services through public-sector framework arrangements.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 22 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to JC Watson Mechanical Limited on 24 September 2026, at an awarded value of £115,000. The estimated procurement range was £9,500 to £12,000. The contract period runs from 25 June 2026 to 24 June 2027. The tender was categorised as a services contract and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was active, with East And North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust as buyer and JC Watson Mechanical Limited as the selected supplier. The procurement used the Hard Facilities Management 2 framework, under a selective procedure.

For suppliers assessing future NHS facilities-management opportunities, this award demonstrates demand for specialist air-handling-unit maintenance connected with radiopharmacy operations. A credible competitor would need practical mechanical and ventilation maintenance capability, the capacity to support a healthcare teaching trust, and an understanding of the reliability, environmental control and operational continuity expected in a radiopharmacy setting. Experience maintaining air-handling systems in controlled or safety-critical environments would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where work must be coordinated around clinical or pharmaceutical activities. Suppliers would also need to operate effectively through a public-sector framework call-off, meet its relevant supplier requirements and demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity for a dedicated specialist maintenance contract. The selected supplier’s success provides a clear benchmark for the technical focus and procurement route relevant to this buyer.
