Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust commissioned additional refurbishment works to the Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) wash area. The requirement is classified as refurbishment work and falls within the works category. It is intended to support the hospital’s wash-area facilities rather than supply standalone goods or routine services. Delivery is in the East of England, United Kingdom, at the hospital site associated with postcode CM20 1QX. The buying organisation is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The scope is a defined package of additional works to an existing specialist hospital area, so relevant businesses are likely to be contractors able to manage refurbishment activity in an operational healthcare environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 July 2026 to J.C. Watson Mechanical Limited. The award value is £35,000, against an estimated procurement range of £30,000 to £40,000. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 6 October 2026. It was placed as a direct award call-off under the SBS Hard Facilities Management 2 Framework, reference SBS 10166; the stated procurement method is selective and the method detail identifies a framework call-off. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. No separate lots are identified, and the award covers the CSSD wash area additional works as a single requirement.

This award provides a clear example of demand from an NHS hospital for a small, time-limited package of specialist refurbishment works in a CSSD wash area. A competitor preparing for similar requirements would need to demonstrate practical capability in refurbishment and mechanical works, together with the planning, site management and coordination needed in a live healthcare setting. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business can deliver this type of hospital facilities work. Access to the relevant hard facilities management framework, or a credible route into comparable framework arrangements, would be important because this requirement was awarded through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition.
