Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured engineering inspection services for its operational sites. The requirement covers an appropriate inspection regime across Porton, Colindale, Chilton, Leeds and Glasgow. The appointed provider is expected to inspect steam, heating and sterilisation equipment at all relevant locations, helping the organisation maintain the safety and suitability of these systems. This is a technical inspection services requirement, covering engineering assessment and inspection rather than equipment supply, construction or general facilities management. It is relevant to businesses with the specialist engineering capability to inspect pressure, heating and sterilisation systems across a geographically dispersed UK public-sector estate.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Allianz Engineering Inspection Services Limited was selected on 29 July 2026. The active contract was signed on the same date and runs from 29 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £46,662.06 excluding VAT, or £55,994.47 including VAT. The contract covers the engineering inspection services described for UKHSA sites, including Porton, Colindale, Chilton, Leeds and Glasgow. The award is for technical inspection services and relates to the complete requirement. No competitive tender evaluation was carried out because the procurement used a below-threshold direct award without competition.

This award demonstrates demand from UKHSA for a specialist engineering inspection provider able to support multiple sites and inspect steam, heating and sterilisation equipment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical competence in technical inspection of these systems, the capacity to maintain a consistent inspection regime across Porton, Colindale, Chilton, Leeds and Glasgow, and the organisational ability to coordinate delivery across locations. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that this type of public-sector requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant businesses should be able to evidence inspection capability, dependable multi-site service delivery and experience managing safety-critical engineering equipment.
