Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured remedial works to Upperkent Chiller 3 at its hospital estate. The requirement is categorised as building and facilities management services, covering the repair or remediation of a specific chiller installation. The buyer is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, based in Harlow. The work relates to the Trust’s Upperkent facility, although the procurement record does not identify a more detailed delivery address. This is a focused mechanical and building-services maintenance requirement rather than a general facilities management contract. Businesses specialising in chiller maintenance, cooling systems, mechanical engineering and associated building-services remedial works would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition under a tender waiver approved under the Trust’s standing financial instructions. One lot was awarded to Artic Building Services Limited. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026, runs from 10 July 2026 to 10 September 2026, and is active. Its value is £17,055.03 excluding VAT, or £20,466.04 including VAT. The award was for services classified as building and facilities management. The outcome shows a small, defined remedial works package rather than a multi-lot programme. Artic Building Services Limited is the selected supplier.

This award indicates demand from The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust for specialist remedial work on critical cooling infrastructure. Competitors would need practical capability in chiller diagnosis, repair and remedial engineering, together with the ability to work safely in an NHS hospital environment. Relevant firms are likely to be established mechanical or building-services contractors able to manage a defined technical intervention, coordinate with the Trust and complete works within a short delivery window. The selected supplier’s classification as a large business shows that the buyer has used a contractor with substantial organisational capacity, although the requirement itself is focused enough to be relevant to specialist chiller-maintenance businesses and facilities-services firms.
