UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, involves the direct award of a 5-year maintenance service for solarised HVAC heat pumps. This award is specifically for services under the CPV classification "Repair and maintenance services of pumps" and takes place in the UKH12 region, Cambridge, United Kingdom. The procurement has reached the award stage, with key dates including the contract period from 2nd February 2026 to 1st February 2031. The total contract value is £335,280 gross (£279,400 net), and the legal basis for the procurement follows the UKPGA 2023/54. The process was justified by the equitable capability of Arriba Technologies Ltd due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and the closed protocol systems integral to the Trust's operational needs.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in HVAC systems, particularly those familiar with solar technology and maintenance services for advanced systems. However, the exclusive manufacturing and system design nature of Arriba Technologies Ltd highlight that businesses equipped with similar or complementary expertise, particularly those already engaged in related technical sectors or seeking partnership opportunities, stand the best chance to compete or collaborate in similar future procurements. The procurement method's direct award approach underscores the importance of developing highly specialised capabilities and fostering strong relationships with public sector entities to access similar opportunities.
