Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist ventilation verification services for its hospital operations in Uxbridge, Greater London. The work covers inspection, testing and verification of ventilation systems, followed by reporting. Its purpose is to support statutory requirements and compliance with applicable Health Technical Memoranda (HTM). This is a technical building-services and healthcare-engineering requirement, classified as ventilation-system inspection (CPV 71315410). The requirement was structured as one lot and was intended for the Trust’s hospital estate. It relates to specialist assurance of ventilation performance and compliance rather than installation, general maintenance or construction works. Businesses suited to this opportunity would therefore need to provide independent or specialist ventilation inspection, testing, verification and reporting services in a healthcare setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to AIRISQ LIMITED, an SME; the award is recorded as active. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 for £98,612.50 including the stated GBP currency. The procedure used was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, through the Crown Commercial Service Low Value Purchase System. The requirement was treated as below the applicable procurement threshold and the framework route was used. The stated rationale refers to extreme urgency arising from unforeseeable events. Evaluation was based on price. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically, and it came from an SME. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active.

This outcome demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist ventilation assurance, with a contract value at a substantial small-business scale and a route that used an established public-sector purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in inspecting, testing and verifying ventilation systems, producing clear technical reports, and evidencing compliance with statutory requirements and HTM guidance. The recorded supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was deliverable by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Businesses seeking similar work with this Trust should be able to demonstrate competent technical staff, reliable testing and reporting processes, and the capacity to work around hospital operations. Familiarity with public-sector purchasing systems and electronic tendering would also support participation through the same route.
