Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured works to upgrade the controls serving Steam Boiler 1 and Steam Boiler 2. The requirement covers installation services for mechanical equipment, focused on improving or replacing the boilers’ control systems rather than supplying general building services. The work is for the Trust’s hospital operations and is delivered in the East of England. The buying organisation is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses specialising in industrial or healthcare boiler control systems, combustion and plant controls, mechanical equipment installation, and associated commissioning. It may also interest established mechanical services contractors able to deliver specialist boiler controls work within a live hospital environment and coordinate safely with the Trust’s operational requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective direct award as a call-off from the GCA LVPS framework RM6237. The award was made on 29 July 2026 to Autoflame Service & Support Ltd for £81,000. The planned contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 6 October 2026. The wider estimated procurement value was £75,000 to £85,000. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 12:00. This was a works contract for a single requirement, evaluated through the framework call-off and direct-award route. The contract was awarded to one supplier; the contracting process is recorded as complete and the award as active.

For suppliers that did not secure this award, the requirement demonstrates that The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust uses a framework call-off route for specialist steam boiler controls work. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable expertise in upgrading controls for multiple steam boilers, installing and integrating mechanical plant equipment, and managing testing and commissioning as one coordinated package. Experience of working in healthcare or other operational sites would help support safe delivery around essential services. Suppliers would also need to understand the relevant framework route and be capable of responding to a direct-award or call-off process. The successful supplier was classified as an SME, showing that specialist smaller businesses can deliver this kind of focused requirement.
