UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust is procuring the supply and installation of one air-conditioning unit, together with re-gassing of the system. This is a goods requirement covering air-conditioning installations (CPV 42512000), with delivery across England. The work is associated with the Trust in Liverpool, where the buyer is based. The requirement combines equipment supply with on-site installation and refrigerant servicing, so it is relevant to air-conditioning contractors, HVAC equipment suppliers with installation capability, and businesses able to provide compliant re-gassing services. It is a focused, single-unit requirement rather than a broad maintenance or multi-site facilities-management contract. The selected supplier is a private-sector SME, indicating that the scale and delivery model can be handled by a specialist smaller business.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. MARCOLD LIMITED was selected on 16 July 2026. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 14 August 2026. Its value is £10,730 excluding VAT, or £12,876 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot for the supply and installation of one air-conditioning unit and re-gassing. The contract is active and the award is active. This was not a competitive tender, so the published process does not set out a scored evaluation basis or competing bids. The procurement is therefore evidence of a completed, below-threshold purchase made through a direct route.

This award identifies a specific requirement from The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust for a specialist air-conditioning provider able to supply equipment, install it and carry out re-gassing. A credible future competitor would need practical HVAC installation capability, suitable refrigerant-handling competence and the capacity to complete a focused single-unit assignment within a short delivery window. Businesses of SME scale may be well placed, as the appointed supplier is recorded as an SME and the requirement is limited rather than a major programme. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route also shows that smaller specialist firms can be relevant when they are identifiable and able to deliver the complete requirement. Competitors should track this buyer’s comparable equipment and servicing needs and demonstrate reliable NHS-site delivery experience.
