Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited procured planned preventative maintenance for dishwasher and ware-washing equipment at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and Cheltenham General Hospital. The work is catering-equipment repair and maintenance, covering equipment used at both hospitals in Gloucestershire. The requirement is for ongoing maintenance of hospital ware-washing assets, rather than the supply of new equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to MEIKO UK Limited, the equipment manufacturer. The buyer used a direct award, citing the supplier’s access to proprietary technical information, software, engineering specifications, manufacturer support and approved replacement parts, and the need to reduce operational risk and maintain service continuity for ageing, critical equipment. The award was made on 9 September 2026. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £180,930 excluding VAT (£217,116 including VAT). There was one lot, marked suitable for SMEs.

This award indicates that the hospital group values specialist maintenance that keeps dishwashing and ware-washing equipment safe and reliable, with minimal disruption to essential services. The selected supplier’s advantage was its manufacturer status and access to proprietary technical information, software, engineering specifications, manufacturer support and genuine, approved replacement parts. A supplier competing for a comparable future requirement would need to demonstrate equivalent equipment-specific expertise, dependable access to the correct parts and technical support, and the capacity to maintain critical assets across both hospital sites. The single lot was identified as suitable for SMEs, suggesting smaller businesses could be considered where they can meet these technical and service-continuity requirements.
