Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, initiated by the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, involved the installation of the Spirax Steam Eco Bolt at both Furness General Hospital and Royal Lancaster Infirmary. It falls under the "works" category, specifically targeting the boiler installation industry. With operations located in Lancaster within the UKD1 region, the process reached the award stage in February 2026, having been concluded without prior publication due to extreme urgency. The awarded contract, worth approximately £287,404.57, was signed on 7th January 2026. This procurement was conducted under the NHSSBS framework agreement SBS10166 - Hard Facilities Management 2 (HFM2) to accelerate decarbonisation measures funded by the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in energy-efficient installations and related facilities management. Firms like The James Mercer Group Ltd, which was awarded the contract, demonstrate the benefit for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in fulfilling urgent public sector demands. Businesses that can rapidly adapt to time-sensitive projects and possess expertise in similar repetitive works are well-placed to compete in this sector. The procurement methodology underscores the potential for companies ready to engage directly under specific frameworks to achieve growth, particularly those focused on decarbonisation and sustainability measures within healthcare infrastructure.
