Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract to Ecolite Ltd for the conversion of fluorescent lighting to LED at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary. This project falls under the "Electrical installation work" industry category, with the location identified as Lancaster, UKD1 region. The procurement process, classified as works, utilised a limited procurement method described as "Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition" due to extreme urgency and repetition of existing works. The procurement aligns with the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero's funding for decarbonisation-related measures and promises substantial operational cost reductions through energy savings. The contracting process is in the Award stage, and the contract was signed on 13th January 2026, for a value of £451,441.64 GBP.

This procurement presents opportunities for business growth, particularly advantageous for businesses experienced in LED lighting and energy-saving projects. The Trust selected Ecolite Ltd due to its established track record with NHS Trusts, highlighting the importance of proven service delivery, compliance with healthcare standards, competitive pricing, and assurance of continuity and quality. Businesses that can provide innovative energy solutions or specialise in health sector requirements are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The sole reliance on a single supplier for this project underpins a demand for reliable and efficient delivery in urgent and repetitive scenarios, suggesting potential growth areas for small and medium-sized enterprises aiming to develop a strong partnership within healthcare infrastructure projects.
