Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured replacement of dishwashers serving the Harold and Penn wards at its hospital in Harlow. The requirement is categorised as services for the repair and maintenance of hotel equipment, covering the replacement activity rather than a general catering or facilities-management contract. The work concerns equipment used in hospital ward settings, so it is relevant to businesses supplying, installing or maintaining commercial dishwashers and associated catering equipment for healthcare organisations. The named buying organisation is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, based in Harlow. The requirement was organised as a single procurement covering the dishwasher replacement service for both wards.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Meiko UK Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with the award approved through a waiver under the Trust’s standing financial instructions. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026, with an award date not separately stated. The active contract runs from 10 July 2026 to 10 August 2026. Its value is £18,964 excluding VAT and £22,756.80 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the Harold and Penn ward dishwasher replacement requirement. The award is active and the contract is active; the procurement was not cancelled or terminated. Meiko UK Limited is the selected supplier.

This award provides a clear reference point for businesses competing for comparable hospital equipment requirements from The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust. Relevant suppliers would need practical capability in commercial dishwasher replacement, installation and associated repair or maintenance services, with the capacity to complete work across hospital wards within a short, defined delivery period. Experience working around live healthcare facilities would help a supplier demonstrate operational credibility, although the procurement data does not identify specific qualifications or accreditations. The buyer used a below-threshold limited-competition route and a waiver approval, indicating that suppliers seeking similar work should be able to respond efficiently to targeted opportunities and provide a clear, deliverable solution for ward-based catering equipment.
