Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust procured portable appliance testing (PAT) services for various sites. The work covers electrical safety testing and associated compliance activity across the trusts’ premises, including sites in Lincoln and the wider East Midlands. It is classified as electrical services (CPV 71314100) and is described as works. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses providing PAT testing, electrical inspection and compliance services for healthcare or other multi-site public-sector estates. Delivery is linked to the trusts’ sites, with Beech House in Lincoln identified as the buyer’s address. The scope is a recurring estate-compliance function rather than construction, equipment supply or general facilities management, so firms should be able to organise testing across multiple locations and produce the records needed to demonstrate compliance.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was complete, with a submission deadline of 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The tender value was £13,452.50. The contract was awarded to Calbarrie Compliance Services Limited on 21 August 2026 for £30,000, with a contract period from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2027. The award is active. The published procurement information identifies one supplier and no lot structure. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement route was framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition. The award was made for the PAT testing requirement across the trusts’ sites; the recorded tender and awarded values differ and should be treated as separate figures.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates demand from two Lincolnshire NHS organisations for coordinated PAT testing across a multi-site healthcare estate. A credible competitor would need practical capability in portable appliance testing and electrical compliance, with sufficient operational capacity to schedule visits across sites, manage a distributed asset base and maintain accurate test and compliance records. Experience of working in occupied healthcare premises would help demonstrate that engineers can follow site access, safety, infection-control and operational requirements, although those specific conditions are not stated as selection criteria here. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that specialist compliance providers can deliver this type of requirement through a framework route. Firms considering future NHS opportunities should therefore assess framework access, multi-site mobilisation, reporting systems and the ability to provide consistent service across Lincolnshire.
