Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust involves the installation of solar panels at Furness General Hospital & Westmorland General Hospital. This contract falls under the works category, specifically focusing on solar panel roof-covering work, with the location being Kendal and Barrow-in-Furness (region UKD1). The process is currently in the award stage, having been completed on 21st October 2025. This direct award was executed under the CCS framework RM6237 due to time constraints and compatibility considerations, with the contract valued at £1,426,666.66 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in renewable energy solutions, particularly those experienced in solar panel installations for healthcare facilities. Energy Efficient Solutions Group Ltd, a small or medium enterprise (SME), was awarded this contract, highlighting the Trust’s openness to collaborations with smaller scale businesses capable of meeting stringent on-boarding and quality criteria rapidly.
