Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured works to recommission DX air-conditioning units at a Trust site, under the requirement titled “HBPOS & Seclusion Heating works”. The work falls within air-conditioning installation and concerns restoring or returning existing equipment to service rather than supplying general facilities management. Delivery is at the Trust site, for the Trust’s estate. The buying organisation is Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, based in Worthing. The requirement is relevant to electrical and mechanical contractors that install, test, recommission or maintain DX air-conditioning systems, particularly those able to work within healthcare premises and controlled access arrangements. The scope is focused on a defined set of heating and air-conditioning works associated with HBPOS and seclusion areas.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. It comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026 and ran from 6 July 2026 to 31 July 2026. The award went to A J Taylor elctrical contractors ltd. The contract value was £30,509.94 excluding VAT, or £36,611.93 including VAT. The contract remains recorded as active. The stated requirement involved recommissioning DX air-conditioning units during a fixed and limited access window. The procurement was treated as works and the awarded item was air-conditioning installation work. The process used the legal basis associated with the Procurement Act 2023.

This procurement provides a clear indication of the Trust’s need for specialist, time-critical air-conditioning works in its operational estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in recommissioning DX air-conditioning units and completing installation-related works safely and reliably. It would also need to organise labour, equipment and testing around a fixed, limited access window, rather than relying on unrestricted site access. Contractors familiar with working in sensitive healthcare environments, coordinating with an NHS estate team and protecting continuity of site operations would be well placed. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that a focused specialist contractor can undertake this type of requirement without needing to be a large national business.
