Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured air-conditioning installations for five new clinic rooms. The requirement covers the supply and installation of air-conditioning equipment, classified under CPV 42512000. It is a goods procurement supporting the Trust’s clinical estate and the environmental conditions needed in newly created healthcare rooms. The buying organisation is based at Countess of Chester Health Park in Chester. The procurement relates to the Trust’s own facilities and healthcare operations, rather than a general commercial installation programme. Businesses relevant to this requirement include air-conditioning contractors, refrigeration companies and equipment suppliers able to provide complete installation services for clinical or similarly controlled environments. The selected supplier was Brooktherm Refrigeration Limited, based in Wirral.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition, using the below-threshold procedure. One award was made to Brooktherm Refrigeration Limited. The award was recorded on 20 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 21 August 2026. Its value is £15,844 excluding VAT and £19,012.80 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement covered one lot for the air-conditioning requirement. The process used a direct award route rather than inviting competing tenders, so the outcome reflects a supplier selected without a competitive evaluation exercise. The contracting authority is Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

This award provides a clear indication that Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust buys specialist air-conditioning installation services for new clinical accommodation. Competitors targeting comparable requirements from this buyer would need credible capability in air-conditioning and refrigeration, including the ability to supply suitable equipment and complete installation work rather than provide products alone. Experience of working in healthcare premises would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where installations must support patient-facing rooms and fit within an operational NHS estate. The successful supplier is a large business, showing that the requirement was suitable for an established contractor with the resources to manage equipment supply and installation. Smaller firms may be relevant where they can demonstrate equivalent technical capacity, dependable delivery and appropriate clinical-environment experience.
