Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured plumbing supplies for use across the trust’s estate. The requirement is for physical plumbing materials, categorised as goods, rather than installation or plumbing services. Delivery is associated with Lincoln, with the procurement location identified by the trust’s address in the city. The trust is the buyer and the supplies support its wider estates operations. The requirement is described as trust-wide, so it covers the organisation rather than a single named site or project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Wolseley UK Limited on 16 October 2026. The award value is £270,000, and the contract runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2029. The estimated procurement range was £228,000 to £270,000. This was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, not a new open competition. The tender deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00. The trust-wide requirement was handled as a single procurement, with no separate lots recorded. The recorded suitability assessment states that the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the published process information.

The award demonstrates demand from United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for a trust-wide supply of plumbing materials for its estate, rather than for a single maintenance job. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need the capacity to source and supply a broad range of plumbing consumables reliably across the trust’s operations, supported by dependable distribution and stock availability. The incumbent award went to a large supplier, indicating that the buyer selected a supplier able to serve an organisation-wide requirement. The route was a call-off from a framework, so suppliers would need access to a relevant framework and the ability to compete under its call-off arrangements. This is a goods-supply opportunity, not a contract for plumbing installation or repair work.
