UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

In a recent procurement process, QE Facilities Ltd, a public authority located at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead, has awarded a contract for reactive maintenance services for the Aerocom Pneumatic Tube System, specifically in Split Zones 5 and 6. The procurement falls under the industry category of building alteration work, and the process has reached the award stage. The contract was awarded to AEROCOM (UK) LIMITED following a direct procurement method due to it being below the threshold for competition. The contract commenced on 8 January 2026 and will conclude on 28 February 2026, with a total value of £11,800. The service delivery will cover multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This procurement offers business growth opportunities to companies specialised in building alteration and maintenance, particularly those experienced with pneumatic tube systems. SMEs like AEROCOM (UK) LIMITED, who successfully secured the contract, are well-suited to compete in this market segment owing to their expertise and scale. Engaging in such projects allows businesses to expand their portfolio and gain exposure across various UK regions. The direct award process, in this case, indicates that well-positioned businesses with niche capabilities can benefit from government contracts that may bypass competitive tendering, potentially streamlining entry into public procurement markets.
