Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance cover for various mortuary equipment, including fridge alarm testing. The requirement concerns servicing and maintaining equipment used in mortuary facilities, rather than the supply of general construction materials suggested by the recorded classification. The buyer is the Trust, based at its purchasing office in Derby, and the equipment is associated with the Derby postcode DE22 3NE. The procurement data categorises the main requirement as goods, although the practical work is specialist equipment maintenance. NHS terms and conditions apply, and suppliers were required to complete and return a statement of agreement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. The Trust used an open procedure. The tender closed on 22 July 2026 at 14:32. LEEC Limited was awarded the contract on 22 July 2026 for £12,617. The recorded award period runs from 23 July 2026 to 24 July 2026. The tender description stated that maintenance cover was intended for 10 June 2026 to 9 June 2027, so the published tender dates and recorded award period differ materially. The award is active. The requirement covered various mortuary equipment and specifically included fridge alarm testing. The procurement was not divided into lots, and no separate evaluation weighting is recorded.

For a competitor, this award shows a public-sector requirement for specialist maintenance of mortuary equipment, including fridge alarm testing, within an NHS trust environment. A credible supplier for a future requirement of this type would need technicians able to inspect, maintain and test mortuary refrigeration and related equipment, with the operational discipline to support equipment used in a healthcare setting. Familiarity with NHS terms and conditions would help, as would the ability to complete the required statement of agreement and manage the buyer's procurement process. The award also demonstrates that the requirement was accessible to SMEs, so a specialist independent maintenance firm may be suitably positioned alongside larger service providers.
