UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited bought planned and reactive maintenance services for Airedale air-conditioning chiller units at Cheltenham General Hospital. The requirement covers the upkeep and repair of cooler-group equipment used at the hospital in Cheltenham. It is a specialist building-services and cooling-maintenance opportunity, rather than a supply-only purchase or installation project. The procurement was managed with support from Lifecycle Procurement Services on behalf of Commercial Services Kent Limited. Businesses relevant to this requirement include air-conditioning and chiller maintenance contractors, Airedale equipment specialists, and facilities-management providers with the technical capability to maintain hospital cooling assets. Work is delivered at Cheltenham General Hospital, so suppliers would need to support equipment operating at that site and respond to both planned servicing needs and reactive faults.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to Airedale International Air Conditioning Limited for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £14,186 excluding VAT, or £17,023.20 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The outcome shows that the buyer selected the equipment manufacturer or specialist supplier through a non-competitive below-threshold route, rather than inviting competing bids. The requirement was evaluated through that direct-award approach, with no competitive tender or separately published scoring basis recorded in the procurement outcome.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers targeting hospital estates and specialist cooling maintenance. The buyer has an ongoing requirement for both scheduled servicing and responsive repair of Airedale chiller equipment, making manufacturer expertise or demonstrable experience with Airedale systems commercially relevant. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitably qualified engineers, access to parts and technical support, and the capacity to plan preventative maintenance while responding promptly to equipment failures. Experience working in a live hospital environment would strengthen a supplier’s position, because cooling systems support operational facilities where disruption can have wider consequences. Facilities-management businesses could also be relevant if they can evidence specialist chiller competence rather than relying solely on general building maintenance. The award indicates a focused, site-based requirement suited to capable specialist providers.
