Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Pneumatic Tube System Upgrade" at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust in London has reached the award stage. The contract, awarded under a direct award method, emphasises the necessity for the current system's manufacturer to undertake the upgrade and extension due to technical compatibility requirements with new infrastructure.

The completion of the process was recorded on 8th December 2025, with work scheduled to commence on 5th January 2026 and conclude by 31st March 2026.
