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 goods rather than installation or other works, and is classified as plumbing materials (CPV 44115210). Delivery is associated with Lincoln, with the requirement described as trust-wide. This is a recurring estates supply need: the buyer requires plumbing consumables to support its facilities across its organisation. The selected supplier was City Plumbing Supplies Holdings Limited, a large supplier of plumbing products. The scope is described at category level rather than as a detailed product list, so the commercial fit is strongest for suppliers able to provide a broad range of plumbing materials for an institutional estate.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to City Plumbing Supplies Holdings Limited. The award was made on 16 October 2026, and the contract runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2029. The awarded contract value is £80,000; the stated estimated range was £51,000 to £80,000. The trust used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract covers the trust’s plumbing supplies requirement, with no lots identified. The published information does not set out separate evaluation weightings or criteria, so the award basis cannot be described more specifically. The contract period indicates a multi-year supply arrangement, and the award records the selected supplier as the provider for this requirement.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows that United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust buys plumbing materials for estate-wide use through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply a suitable breadth of plumbing consumables and support deliveries for a large institutional estate. The successful supplier was a large business, and the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises; this points to a requirement where established supply capacity and the ability to serve the trust across its estate are relevant. Suppliers already appointed to an appropriate framework, or able to qualify for one, would be well placed to compete by this route. The requirement is for materials supply, not plumbing installation.
