Summary of the contracting process

The Dumfries and Galloway Health Board is currently in the tender stage for a procurement opportunity titled "NHSDG Estates & Property Insurance Inspection - Pressure Systems & LOLER". This procurement, categorised under engineering insurance services, is seeking inspection services for steam and hot water boilers, autoclaves, medical gas, compressed air systems, and various lifting equipment within their properties across Dumfries & Galloway. The contract, valued at £90,000, follows a restricted procedure method and adheres to the legal basis defined in the CELEX 32014L0024 scheme. All interested suppliers must submit electronic responses by 2nd July 2026, with the second stage invitations being issued on 24th July 2026. This opportunity is a significant prospect for qualified service providers in the services industry, particularly those specialising in statutory equipment inspections, with the option for a 12-month renewal.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in equipment inspection and compliance certification. Companies holding accreditation by UKAS to BS EN ISO/IEC 17020:2004 for Type A inspection body status will find this procurement highly suitable, as such accreditation is mandatory. Additionally, firms that can assure comprehensive service delivery, including out-of-hours support, have a competitive edge. The procurement not only allows participants to establish or strengthen their presence within the healthcare and engineering service sectors but also to potentially secure long-term engagements given the possibility of contract extensions. Engaging with NHSDG estates at this level could serve as a robust platform for business growth and development within the public sector domain.
