Summary of the contracting process

QE Facilities Ltd procured a maintenance service for steam boiler water treatment at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Avenue, Sheriff Hill, Gateshead. The requirement covers the ongoing servicing and maintenance of water treatment systems associated with the hospital’s steam boilers. It is a facilities maintenance service rather than a supply-only purchase or construction project. The procurement is classified under repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). The work is associated with the hospital’s facilities in Gateshead and is described as a single requirement. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include specialist boiler, steam-system and water-treatment maintenance contractors able to support operational healthcare facilities and maintain equipment used in hospital services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to MCQUILLAN BOILER SERVICES LIMITED. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £17,610 excluding VAT and £21,132 including VAT. The successful supplier is an active award holder and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome data identifies the selected supplier but does not set out the individual scoring criteria or weightings. QE Facilities Ltd is the buying organisation.

This procurement demonstrates demand from QE Facilities Ltd for specialist steam-boiler water-treatment maintenance supporting a hospital site. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in boiler water treatment, repair and maintenance of associated equipment, and the capacity to provide reliable scheduled support throughout an operational healthcare environment. Suppliers should be able to manage work safely around critical facilities, maintain service continuity, and provide clear records of inspections, treatment and remedial activity. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national facilities-management business. Boiler-service companies with relevant hospital or other technically demanding-site experience would be well placed.
