Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured replacement sinks and taps as plumbing and sanitary works for its hospital estate. The requirement covers the supply and installation of replacement sinks and taps, with the work associated with the Trust in Harlow, Essex. The buying organisation is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, based at Hamstel Road, Harlow. This is a works requirement rather than a general supply-only purchase: businesses should be able to undertake plumbing and sanitary installation and associated replacement work. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, covering the hospital’s stated need for replacement sinks and taps.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under which three quotes were obtained. Wolseley UK Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and has a gross value of £65,626.38, equivalent to £54,668.65 excluding VAT. The award is active and the contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 2 December 2026. The process used limited competition rather than an open tender, under tender reference T/08 26/1976. The recorded scope is plumbing and sanitary works, specifically replacement sinks and taps for the Trust.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of the Trust’s demand for hospital plumbing and sanitary works at a modest, defined project scale. Suppliers likely to be credible for a future requirement would need to source replacement sinks and taps, carry out plumbing installation and removal or replacement work, and manage delivery and site activity for an NHS hospital environment. The procurement route also shows that the Trust has used a below-threshold limited competition based on obtaining three quotes, so businesses should be prepared to respond efficiently to focused quotation exercises rather than only large open tenders. Relevant plumbing contractors, sanitaryware suppliers with installation teams, and firms able to combine both capabilities are the closest fit.
