Summary of the contracting process

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured service maintenance for its combined heat and power (CHP) plant. The requirement covers CHP equipment at Hull Royal Infirmary, Castle Hill Hospital and the Sterile Services Unit. This is a specialist repair and maintenance services contract for critical on-site energy-generation infrastructure, supporting the continued operation of NHS hospital and sterile-services facilities. The buying organisation is Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based at Hull Royal Infirmary in Hull. The requirement is relevant to businesses that maintain CHP engines, associated plant and control systems, particularly where they can support equipment across multiple healthcare sites and work within operational hospital environments.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to 2G Energy Ltd on 15 July 2026, then signed on 28 July 2026. It was a single-lot direct award under the Procurement Act 2023, using a technical-reasons justification for a single supplier. The Trust stated that 2G Energy Ltd is the only company able to maintain the plant because its control system is unique to that supplier, with access and passwords unavailable to others. The award and contract value is £1,957,600 excluding VAT, or £2,349,120 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. The award is active and the contract is active.

This procurement demonstrates established NHS demand for long-term, specialist maintenance of combined heat and power plant across several hospital facilities. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need demonstrable expertise in CHP equipment maintenance, fault diagnosis, planned servicing and repair of associated systems. The procurement also shows the importance of proprietary control-system knowledge, secure access credentials and the ability to work on equipment where the original manufacturer or authorised maintainer controls the technical information. Relevant suppliers would need sufficient engineering capacity to support multiple sites, respond reliably in a healthcare setting and maintain continuity of energy services. Experience of safety-critical operational environments and compliance with NHS site procedures would strengthen their position.
