Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process involves the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located on Hills Rd, Cambridge, UK. The tender, titled "Hire of 10x ET25 portable air conditioning units," addresses the need for cooling solutions due to a heat wave and falls under the 'goods' category in the air-conditioning appliances sector. The procurement was completed through a process considered "below threshold - unknown" and culminated in the contract award stage on 14th July 2026. Andrews Sykes Group PLC, based in Wednesbury, was awarded the contract, which is active from 14th July 2026 to 13th October 2026, with a gross value of £20,811.84.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in climate control and air-conditioning solutions. Organisations with experience in delivering air-conditioning units efficiently and reliably are well-suited to compete in such procurements, especially given the essential nature of such services for public health institutions. Being awarded such contracts can bolster a company's portfolio and provide substantial growth opportunities in the public sector. The transactional nature of this procurement also suggests room for both large organisations and SMEs to engage with public health trusts.
