Summary of the contracting process

Royal United Hospital Bath NHS Foundation Trust (RUH) has awarded a contract for "Emergency Kitchen Drainage Works" under the industry category of plumbing and drain-laying work. Due to an infestation in the patient kitchen, it was necessary for the RUH to act swiftly, leading them to directly engage FastFix Drainage and Plumbing Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), for the project. The contract, valued at £89,821.86, commenced on 31st December 2024 and is scheduled to end on 1st April 2025. This procurement stage is at the award stage, and the Trust's decision highlights their commitment to addressing urgent maintenance needs promptly in the best interests of patient safety.

This tender provides a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in plumbing and drainage solutions, particularly smaller firms looking to expand their portfolio by securing contracts with public healthcare institutions. Given the urgency and specificity of the requirement, businesses with a proven track record of reliable service, especially those previously engaged by the RUH, were favoured. SMEs with the capability to respond quickly and deliver high-quality emergency maintenance services are well-suited to benefit from such procurement opportunities.
