Summary of the contracting process

Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking suppliers for the "Luton Emergency Department Chiller Replacement" project. The contract involves the supply and installation of an ultra-low noise, air-cooled chiller with a capacity of approximately 240kW, to be mounted on a purpose-built gantry. This procurement falls under the "works" category in the ventilation and air-conditioning installation industry and is situated in Luton, within the UKH21 region of the United Kingdom. The ongoing tender process is in the active stage, with the tender period ending on 26 January 2026 and enquiries accepted until 13 January 2026. The procurement method adopted is an open competition, specifically tailored for contracts below the threshold, allowing electronic submissions via the Delta eSourcing platform.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in cooling equipment and air-conditioning installation to expand their market presence by securing a valuable contract within the healthcare sector. SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate, given the procurement's suitability for smaller enterprises. Companies with expertise in ensuring high-quality installation and competitive pricing, which are weighted at 30% and 70% respectively in the award criteria, stand a good chance of success. Engaging in this project could foster business growth by establishing stronger relationships with a prominent public authority and enhancing the company’s portfolio with a prestigious NHS Trust project. The contract is set to commence on 11 February 2026 and conclude by 31 August 2026, providing a structured timeline for project execution.
