Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board procured annual inspection, testing and planned preventative maintenance for the pneumatic tube system at The Grange University Hospital. The requirement covers service and maintenance of the Aerocom pneumatic tube system, including repair and maintenance services. It is a services procurement managed through NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS. The work is associated with the hospital and delivery locations in the surrounding Welsh areas recorded for the requirement. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This is a specialist healthcare engineering and maintenance requirement for suppliers able to support pneumatic tube infrastructure used within a hospital environment.

The procurement is complete: the contract was awarded to Aerocom (UK) Ltd on 10 June 2026 and signed on 21 July 2026. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The award value was £50,250 excluding VAT and £60,300 including VAT. The signed contract value is £60,300.30 excluding VAT and £72,360.36 including VAT. The award period was 22 June 2026 to 21 June 2029; the signed contract records a period from 22 July 2026 to 13 July 2029. There was one lot, which is complete. The published requirement describes annual inspection, testing and planned preventative maintenance of the hospital’s pneumatic tube system.

This award indicates established demand from Aneurin Bevan University Health Board for specialist maintenance of Aerocom pneumatic tube systems in a hospital setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in pneumatic tube system servicing, including planned preventative maintenance, inspection and testing, together with the ability to carry out repair and maintenance work safely in an operational healthcare environment. Relevant suppliers are likely to be specialist system manufacturers, authorised service providers or experienced healthcare engineering contractors with suitable technical staff, response arrangements and capacity to maintain critical equipment over a multi-year service relationship. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business.
