Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust procured an Authorised Engineer (Medical Gas) service. The requirement covers specialist oversight and support for the Trust’s medical-gas arrangements, including repair and maintenance services for gas-detection equipment (CPV 50413100). The work is for the Trust’s healthcare operations in Leeds. This is a medical-gas engineering and equipment-maintenance requirement rather than a general facilities-management contract. Businesses best aligned to it are providers with experience of authorised-engineer services in healthcare settings and the technical ability to maintain medical-gas detection equipment. The named public-sector buyer is Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, which would require the service to support its own estate and clinical operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Medical Engineering Systems Limited was selected as supplier. The award date was 26 August 2026. The awarded value is £10,650 excluding VAT, or £12,780 including VAT. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 7 September 2027, with signature scheduled for 8 September 2026. There was one completed lot covering the full requirement. The award records show the supplier’s award as active, while a related award record is pending signature. The available evaluation route was direct award without a competitive process, so no scored competition or published award criteria are identified for this procurement.

This award indicates that Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust buys a defined, specialist medical-gas engineering service from an external provider. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate practical capability in authorised-engineer work for medical-gas systems, together with reliable inspection, repair and maintenance of gas-detection equipment. Relevant experience in NHS, hospital or other healthcare environments would help show that the supplier understands safety-critical systems, clinical continuity and the operational discipline expected around medical gases. Providers should also be able to support the Trust’s estate as a managed service rather than offering equipment maintenance in isolation. The direct-award route shows that the buyer has previously used a below-threshold, non-competitive procurement for this requirement.
