Lot Information
Lot 1
The pneumatic air tube system enables the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Trust) to meet its needs as a provider of healthcare services. For example, connecting wards, surgical rooms and departments with the hospital's laboratory and central pharmacy, shortening delivery times of samples, medicines and any associated documents - minimizing the requirement for manual handling.

Options: The contract term is 24 months, with the option to extend for a further 24 months.
Procurement Information

Therefore competition is absent for technical reasons on these grounds.<br/><br/>To substantiate this, a Prior Information Notice (PIN) notice was published as a Request for Information (RFI) to understand the market's capability to provide the Services.<br/><br/>The response received to the RFI indicated the pneumatic system at the Queen's Medical Centre is closed protocol. Therefore, the Trust has awarded the contract based on relevant grounds under regulation 32 (Use of negotiated procedure without prior publication) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
