Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured the replacement of a heat exchanger and associated parts for chiller CAM43536. The requirement is a specialist refrigeration and air-conditioning maintenance service, covering the supply and replacement of equipment used in the Trust’s chiller installation. Delivery is in Cambridge, supporting the Trust’s hospital operations. The procurement was for one requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. The selected supplier is Adcock Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Limited, a specialist refrigeration and air-conditioning business. This opportunity is therefore relevant to contractors able to diagnose, supply and replace heat-exchange equipment and associated chiller components, and to provide the related maintenance service for a hospital engineering environment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Adcock Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Limited. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2027. Its value is £49,656.22 excluding VAT, or £59,587.46 including VAT. The process was a below-threshold procurement using a procedure described as “below threshold - unknown”. It covered one lot, which is complete, and the award is active. The award concerned repair and maintenance services for the replacement heat exchanger and associated chiller parts. The published outcome identifies Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as the buyer and Adcock Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Limited as the appointed supplier.

This procurement demonstrates a hospital Trust’s demand for specialist chiller engineering and refrigeration maintenance, including replacement heat exchangers and associated parts. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical expertise in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems, the ability to assess faults and specify compatible replacement components, and the capacity to complete installation and associated maintenance in a live hospital environment. The appointed supplier is an SME specialising in refrigeration and air conditioning, indicating that specialist businesses of this scale can compete for the requirement. Relevant firms should be able to evidence dependable engineering delivery, experience with chiller equipment, responsive maintenance capability and the operational discipline needed in healthcare premises.
