UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a portable air-conditioning unit for its operations in Cambridge. The requirement is for the supply of equipment providing local cooling, rather than a broad facilities-management or building-services programme. The procurement is classified as goods, with the associated classification covering air-conditioning installations. This is a focused requirement for a healthcare buyer, so relevant suppliers are businesses that manufacture, distribute, hire or otherwise supply portable air-conditioning equipment suitable for use in hospital premises. The buyer is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Hills Road, Cambridge. The awarded requirement relates to one lot and one item, indicating a single, defined purchase rather than a multi-site equipment framework or a package covering multiple types of mechanical and electrical services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Andrews Sykes Group PLC was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 December 2026. Its value is £17,632 excluding VAT, or £21,158.40 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold and used a procedure described as “below threshold - unknown”; the published information does not identify a further competitive method or evaluation weighting. There was one completed lot covering the portable air-conditioning unit. The award is active and the contract is active. The process was managed for Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, with delivery associated with its UK operations in the Cambridge area. Andrews Sykes Group PLC is the recorded awarded supplier.

This procurement is relevant to suppliers of portable air-conditioning equipment serving hospitals and other healthcare premises. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable mobile cooling units, arrange delivery to operational NHS sites, and support deployment within a short, defined contract period. The result indicates that the buyer uses a focused, below-threshold route for a relatively contained equipment requirement rather than a large construction or long-term maintenance contract. Suppliers should therefore be able to respond efficiently to discrete equipment needs, understand the practical constraints of hospital environments, and demonstrate dependable fulfilment. Businesses with established public-sector processes, reliable equipment availability, delivery capacity in the Cambridge area and experience supporting temperature control in occupied buildings would be well placed when this buyer next requires comparable portable cooling equipment.
