UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned Authorising Engineer (Decontamination) services for Southport and Ormskirk District General Hospital sites. The requirement covers engineering support for decontamination operations, including sign-off of quarterly and annual reports, attendance at decontamination meetings and telephone support. The work is classified as engineering services. It is relevant to specialist healthcare engineering consultants, decontamination advisers and firms able to provide formal assurance and ongoing technical support to hospital sites. Delivery is focused on the Trust’s Southport and Ormskirk facilities, rather than a general estate-wide engineering requirement. The buyer is an NHS teaching hospital trust serving Merseyside and west Lancashire.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure. One lot was awarded to Theatre and Endoscopy Service Technicians Limited. The award was made on 23 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £12,073 excluding VAT, or £14,488 including VAT. The contract is active. The selected supplier is based in Stoke-on-Trent. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement for engineering support, with the award relating to the complete single lot. The published description identifies the service outputs and support arrangements but does not provide a detailed scoring breakdown.

This procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist decontamination engineering assurance across two district general hospital sites. A credible competitor for similar work would need expertise in healthcare decontamination systems and the ability to act as an Authorising Engineer, formally reviewing and signing off periodic reports. It would also need to provide dependable attendance at operational decontamination meetings and responsive telephone advice to hospital teams. The requirement suits a focused specialist consultancy or technical services business, including an SME, rather than a general engineering contractor without healthcare or decontamination experience. Evidence of sound technical judgement, clear reporting, reliable support arrangements and experience working with hospital stakeholders would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement.
