UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured replacement uninterruptible power supply equipment. The requirement covered two 30kVA three-phase UPS units, two parallel UPS interface cards and two hardwired relay alarm interface cards. It also included delivery of the new equipment, collection and disposal of the existing units, and the AC and DC disconnection and reconnection work needed for the replacement. This is a goods requirement with associated installation and removal services, classified under CPV 31154000 for uninterruptible power supplies. The buying organisation is the NHS Trust, based at Whiston Hospital, Warrington Road, Prescot. The selected supplier, Bender UK Limited, is based in Ulverston and is recorded as an SME.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a below-threshold procurement, with the detailed method recorded as unknown. One lot was completed and awarded to Bender UK Limited. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026, runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 October 2026, and is active. Its value is £17,790 excluding VAT, or £21,348 including VAT. The award covers the UPS equipment and related replacement requirement. The published data does not set out a separate award date or stated evaluation weighting. The outcome indicates that the Trust selected a supplier for the complete requirement, including equipment supply, electrical disconnection and reconnection, delivery, and collection and disposal of the replaced units.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the NHS Trust for specialist uninterruptible power supply replacement rather than equipment supply alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide 30kVA three-phase UPS units and compatible parallel interface and relay alarm cards, while coordinating removal of existing equipment and installation of replacements. The work also calls for capability in AC and DC disconnection and reconnection, together with transport and responsible disposal arrangements. Suppliers with established UPS product knowledge, electrical engineering capacity and the operational ability to manage equipment delivery, site works and removal as one service would be well placed. The award to an SME shows that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor.
