Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured the supply and installation of a Hydro-Constant platform and access ladder in Leeds. The works comprise new 50mm by 50mm galvanised angle-steel supports, GRP 50mm anti-slip flooring, 40mm galvanised-steel handrails, a bespoke galvanised-steel access ladder and additional 40mm box-sectional supports on “bigfoot” feet. The requirement is classified as lifting equipment for the healthcare sector (CPV 33192600), combining fabricated metalwork, access infrastructure and installation. The delivery location is Leeds, serving the Trust’s estate. This is a practical healthcare-facilities engineering requirement rather than a general construction project, with the supplier expected to provide both the specified components and the associated installation work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 July 2026 to Floway Mechanical Solutions Limited. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 20 August 2026. Its value is £11,728 excluding VAT and £14,073.60 including VAT. One lot was awarded, with the contract covering the full Hydro-Constant platform and ladder requirement. The recorded contract is active. The award followed the Trust’s below-threshold, non-competitive procurement route; the published outcome identifies the successful supplier but does not set out a comparative tender evaluation or competing bids.

This requirement is relevant to businesses that can design, fabricate, supply and install galvanised-steel access and support structures for healthcare premises. Credible competitors would need practical capability in structural steelwork, bespoke ladders, handrails, anti-slip GRP flooring and sectional support systems, together with the capacity to coordinate manufacture and site installation as one service. Experience working around operational hospital or healthcare environments would strengthen a future response, particularly where safe access, durable materials and controlled installation are important. The award also indicates demand for a relatively focused, below-threshold package rather than a major capital project. Suppliers able to deliver tailored metalwork and lifting or access-related equipment for this NHS buyer should monitor comparable requirements when the need next returns to market.
