Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust procured building works to upgrade heating at Aston Ward, covering radiators, Wallgate facilities and bedrooms. The requirement is classified as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work (CPV 45331000). It forms part of the Trust’s estate and is intended to improve heating provision within the ward. The buying organisation is Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. Delivery is at Aston Ward in the East of England. The work is a practical healthcare-estate upgrade rather than a standalone supply of equipment, so relevant businesses are heating and building-services contractors able to carry out installation works in an occupied or operational healthcare environment.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It was run as a selective call-off from the GCA Framework, RM6088 Lot 1.1.2, rather than as an open competition. The award was made to BORRAS CONSTRUCTION LTD. on 1 September 2026 for £115,000 including the stated currency, with the contract running from 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The original estimated range was £100,000 to £120,000. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route. It was categorised as works, and the procurement record identifies it as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award indicates a defined demand from Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust for ward-based heating improvement works. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need practical experience installing or upgrading radiators and associated heating infrastructure, including work affecting Wallgate facilities and bedrooms. It would also need to manage a coordinated building-services project within a healthcare setting, where access, safety, continuity of ward operations and quality control are important. The route to market is significant: this work was placed through a specific GCA Framework call-off, so future relevance depends on having the capability and framework access needed to compete through that purchasing route.
