Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned urgent pipe replacement works at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston. The requirement is construction and refurbishment work focused on replacing pipework within the hospital estate. The work is for a live healthcare organisation and relates to maintaining or restoring building services at the hospital. The buyer is the NHS Trust responsible for the procurement and its hospital facilities. The contract concerns works rather than the supply of standalone goods or routine services. The requirement was treated as a single package covering the Pilgrim Hospital works, rather than being divided into separate packages for different sites or types of activity. It is most relevant to contractors experienced in commercial building repairs, pipe replacement and refurbishment work in healthcare or similarly controlled environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One package was awarded to MB Pipe Services Ltd. The award was made on 21 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £24,275 excluding VAT and £29,130 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, with a restricted group of suppliers considered. The published outcome identifies works as the procurement category. The available outcome records one successful supplier and one completed package for the urgent pipe replacement requirement at Pilgrim Hospital.

This procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for urgent pipe replacement and refurbishment works at a hospital, delivered by a small specialist pipe services contractor. A credible future supplier would need practical expertise in pipework replacement, building repair and refurbishment, with the ability to organise labour, materials and site activities around an operational healthcare environment. Responsiveness is important because the requirement was urgent and the contract was delivered as a short, focused package. Relevant businesses would also benefit from understanding the Trust’s use of below-threshold limited competition, since suppliers able to demonstrate a clear fit for small hospital works may be considered through targeted procurement routes. Experience of safe, well-controlled work in occupied public buildings would strengthen credibility.
