Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde commissioned an upgrade to the Building Energy Management System (BEMS) across four healthcare sites: Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Gartnavel Hospital, Glasgow Dental Hospital and Vale of Leven Hospital. The work covers energy-management services and building-controls upgrades, including EcoStruxure Building Management System solutions, EBO server transitions, system infrastructure enabling works, site transition upgrades, automatic controls and upgrades for the Homeopathic Unit and PET Scanner Building. The requirement concerns complex, live healthcare buildings where building controls support hosted plant and patient-care services. Delivery is across the named NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde hospitals in Glasgow and at Vale of Leven Hospital. The buyer is NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, whose procurement department is based in Glasgow.

The procurement is complete and was run as a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using a voluntary ex ante transparency approach. The single requirement was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded, from Schneider Electric, which received the active award. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and has a value of £556,944. The award is for the BEMS upgrade across all four hospitals. The procurement was treated as covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, with the stated rationale that the requirement fell outside the relevant directive’s scope. The award followed the buyer’s view that Schneider Electric was the only organisation able to provide the manufacturer-specific upgrade and associated specialist support for the installed system.

This procurement demonstrates demand for specialist building energy-management and controls engineering in live NHS healthcare environments. A credible future competitor would need strong expertise in Schneider Electric systems, including EcoStruxure and EBO platforms, server transitions, automatic controls, system infrastructure and software engineering. Manufacturer-qualified staff across all required disciplines would be important, as would access to the necessary engineering tools and manufacturer support. The buyer also placed significant weight on detailed knowledge of the existing installation and its hosted plant, because work must minimise unforeseen downtime and disruption to staff, patients and clinical services. Relevant suppliers are therefore established building-controls or energy-management specialists with healthcare-site experience, the technical capacity to work across multiple complex hospitals, and the ability to maintain safe, reliable operations during upgrades.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Schneider Electric Building Energy Management System Upgrade

Notice Description

NHS GG&C require the Building Energy Management System (BEMS) at Queen Elizabeth University Neurology, Gartnavel Hospital, Dental Hospital and Vale of Leven Hospital to be upgraded.

Lot Information

Lot 1

NHS GG&C require the Building Energy Management System to be upgraded as follows: Vale of Leven: EBO Server Transition and EcoStruxure Building Management System Solution. Gartnavel Hospital: EBO System Infrastructure Enabling Works including Gartnavel Hospital Site Transition System Upgrade Main Block, System Upgrade Homeopathic Unit and System Upgrade PET Scanner Building. Queen Elizabeth University Hospital: Energy Works Automatic Controls and EBO Server Transition. Dental Hospital: EBO Server Transition NHS GGC believe Schneider Electric are the only company that can provide this requirement as the manufacturer of products concerned and due to the close loop nature of the system itself. Furthermore, as the site is a complex and live healthcare environment, sound working knowledge of the installed systems and their hosted plant is essential to minimise the risk of unforeseen downtime impacting patient care services. Schneider Electric installed the systems when the building was originally constructed, and, as the incumbent, has operated and maintained the building controls systems since. NHS GGC believe is the only organisation able to demonstrate manufacturer qualified staff, in all of the required disciplines and systems, with access to the required software engineering tools and support, and in-depth knowledge of the building and current controls installation. Consequently awarding to another supplier would cost a significant amount money and disruption to NHSGGC Staff and Patients. Therefore the best course of action to insure compliance with procurement regulations is to publish a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice.
