Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured continuation of mechanical service cover for its hospital estate. The requirement covers reactive, remedial and planned maintenance of heating, public health and chilled water systems. This is a mechanical building installations repair and maintenance service (CPV 50712000), delivered in Cambridge for the Trust. The work supports the operation of essential hospital building services rather than a standalone construction project or supply of equipment. It is therefore relevant to mechanical building-services contractors with the personnel, systems and operational capability to maintain heating, water and chilled-water infrastructure in a healthcare environment, including firms able to respond to faults as well as carry out planned and remedial tasks across the estate.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the published method detail describes the route as unknown. It comprised one completed lot. CPS Building Services Limited was awarded the contract on 30 July 2026, with a gross value of £55,296 including tax (£46,080 excluding tax). The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. The award covers the full mechanical service requirement for the lot, including repair and maintenance of mechanical building installations. The selected supplier is a Cambridge-based small or medium-sized enterprise. No separate award values or additional lots are reported.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting mechanical maintenance work with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in heating, public health and chilled-water systems, covering reactive call-outs, remedial repairs and planned maintenance rather than only one specialist activity. The requirement favours a contractor able to provide dependable engineering response, diagnose faults, complete compliant repairs and manage scheduled maintenance across hospital buildings. Experience of working around operational healthcare facilities, with suitable health and safety controls, qualified personnel, continuity arrangements and records of completed maintenance would strengthen a future proposition. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused building-services business with appropriate local or regional capacity.
