Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured the replacement of a heat exchanger and associated parts for chiller CAM43536. This is a specialist refrigeration and air-conditioning maintenance requirement, covering the equipment and related repair work needed for the chiller. The procurement falls within repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). The work is for the Trust’s facilities in Cambridge, where the buyer is based and where the equipment is located. The requirement was arranged as a single package rather than separate workstreams, bringing together the replacement heat exchanger, associated parts and the related technical service. It is therefore relevant to businesses that service commercial or healthcare cooling systems and can undertake component replacement as part of a managed maintenance response.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold procedure; the published method detail describes the route as “Below threshold - unknown”. Adcock Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Limited was selected for the single package. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and awarded under a contract running from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2027. Its value is £49,656.22 excluding VAT, or £59,587.46 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The record identifies Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as the buyer. The process concerned one completed lot and the available outcome information records the selected supplier, contract value and delivery period rather than a multi-supplier or multi-lot award.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement within Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for specialist chiller infrastructure, rather than general building maintenance. A credible future competitor would need practical refrigeration and air-conditioning expertise, including the ability to identify and replace heat exchangers and supply associated parts for operational cooling plant. The work also calls for a supplier able to combine equipment knowledge with repair and maintenance services, and to support a healthcare organisation’s facilities reliably. Adcock Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Limited, the successful supplier, is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Businesses with comparable chiller experience and integrated parts-and-service capability are the closest fit.
