Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured the supply of pharmacy fridges for its pharmacy medical unit. This is a goods contract for medical equipment, classified under CPV 33100000. The requirement covers supplying pharmacy refrigeration equipment for delivery in England. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust, based in Gloucester. The procurement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of pharmacy or medical refrigeration equipment, particularly those able to support NHS environments and deliver equipment within England. The stated purpose is straightforward supply rather than installation, maintenance or a wider facilities service, so businesses focused on supplying compliant pharmacy fridges are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 February 2026 to Labcold Limited. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £27,066, with the contract running from 30 April 2026 to 29 April 2027. The tender record gives a minimum estimated value of £27,066 and an upper estimated value of £0.01, while the award value is £27,066. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises, but not for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or separate awards are recorded.

This award shows a defined NHS requirement for pharmacy refrigeration equipment in England, delivered through an established framework route and at the scale of a single specialist supply contract. A future competitor would need dependable access to pharmacy fridges, product knowledge relevant to medical environments and the operational capacity to fulfil an NHS order. Suppliers should also be able to work within framework call-off procedures, meet public-sector purchasing requirements and provide consistent delivery arrangements. The buyer’s identification of voluntary, community and social enterprise suitability indicates that organisations with that status may be well placed where they can also demonstrate the necessary refrigeration supply capability and framework access.
