UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust commissioned works to supply and install two replacement domestic hot water service pumps at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The requirement covers the pumps, associated components, delivery, removal and replacement works, and the labour needed to complete the installation. This is a building-services and water-plumbing requirement within an operational hospital environment. The work is centred on the hospital site, so suppliers would need to provide installation support at the Taunton location and manage the delivery of equipment and components as part of the job. The buyer is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, and the requirement was treated as works, with water plumbing work forming the relevant activity.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust awarded the work to AWP Services Limited on 25 June 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 25 June 2026 to 24 July 2026. Its value is £12,805 excluding VAT and £15,366 including VAT. The awarded contract is active, while the tender is recorded as complete. The selected supplier is AWP Services Limited. The process used limited competition rather than an open procedure, reflecting the below-threshold route. The requirement was assessed as works relating to replacement domestic hot water pumps and associated installation.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement for specialist mechanical and plumbing contractors able to replace domestic hot water pumps in a healthcare setting. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practical experience in water-plumbing work, pump replacement, component selection and installation, with sufficient labour and site-management capacity to coordinate delivery and replacement works. Familiarity with working safely in an operational hospital or similarly sensitive occupied building would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where access, continuity of hot-water services and control of disruption matter. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of hospital engineering work can be delivered by a focused smaller business rather than only by a major national contractor. Suppliers combining responsive delivery with competent installation capability would be well placed.
