The Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the service maintenance of Bosch Electric Steam and ULS boilers at Scunthorpe General Hospital. The contract, titled "Service Maintenance of Bosch Electric Steam Boiler & ULS Boiler," falls within the services industry category and was awarded directly to Bosch Thermotechnology Ltd. The procurement was carried out through a direct award method due to Bosch's unique technical expertise and the need to maintain warranty and safety standards. The award was made on the 18th of June 2026, with the contract period set from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2029.
