Summary of the contracting process

QE Facilities Ltd engaged labour services for repair and maintenance work supporting its facilities. The requirement covers labour charges associated with repair and maintenance services, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is QE Facilities Ltd, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead. This is a facilities-services requirement rather than a purchase of equipment, construction works or a standalone supply of materials. It is relevant to businesses providing maintenance labour, particularly contractors able to support operational facilities and deliver the required repair and maintenance activity. The published requirement is described as labour costs for the April to June period, indicating a defined service input rather than a long-term supply arrangement or wider facilities management contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. GEMINI ELECTRICAL LIMITED was selected as the supplier, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its stated labour period is 12 April 2026 to 28 June 2026. The contract value is £29,580 excluding VAT, or £35,496 including VAT. The contracting process is below the relevant threshold. The available outcome identifies the selected supplier and contract, but does not set out a scored evaluation basis or separate award date. The requirement was handled without a competitive tender.

This procurement provides a clear example of QE Facilities Ltd’s demand for externally provided repair and maintenance labour. Competitors seeking similar work with this buyer would need practical capability to supply maintenance personnel and complete repair and maintenance tasks in operational healthcare-facilities settings. A credible supplier would be able to respond to a defined labour requirement, manage delivery across the United Kingdom where required, and demonstrate reliable mobilisation and service continuity. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by an appropriately sized specialist contractor rather than only a major national facilities-management business. Electrical or broader building-maintenance businesses with relevant operational experience are the closest potential competitors.
