This tender, titled "Pneumatic Air Tube System Maintenance," falls under the works category, specifically classified as "Compressed-air pipeline work for mailing system." The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a total estimated value of £25,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in maintenance services, particularly those familiar with pneumatic systems or those already providing services to the healthcare sector.

However, it is essential for potential bidders to note that NUH expresses a preference for the incumbent service provider due to the proprietary nature of the components involved.
