Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust procured emergency pre-cleaning and clearance services for the Moynihan Plantroom. The work provided essential access to tunnels and the plantroom and included assisting the Trust with the hire and maintenance of a decanting unit (DCU) for the associated emergency works. This is a facilities management service rather than construction of the plantroom itself. The requirement was delivered for the Trust at its Watford site, with the buyer based on Vicarage Road, Watford. Suppliers operating in emergency facilities clearance, plantroom access preparation, site support and related building or facilities management services would find this a relevant reference opportunity. The recorded classification is building and facilities management services (CPV 79993000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded under a below-threshold limited competition approved through a waiver in line with the Trust’s standing financial instructions. Sck Group Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and ran from 24 to 28 August 2026. Its value was £14,623 excluding VAT, or £17,547.60 including VAT. The award was made on 24 August 2026, when the contract period began. The recorded procedure was limited, with the competition restricted to invited suppliers below the applicable threshold. The requirement concerned emergency works and was awarded as a completed procurement rather than an open competition. No separate scoring or weighting basis is recorded in the award information.

For a supplier seeking comparable work, this procurement indicates that the Trust uses specialist facilities management support for urgent plantroom access and clearance linked to essential hospital infrastructure. A credible competitor would need to mobilise quickly for short, tightly defined interventions, work safely around operational healthcare facilities and clear access routes to tunnels, plantrooms and related services. Relevant capability would include pre-cleaning, emergency clearance, plantroom support, site logistics and the hire or maintenance of decanting units or similar temporary facilities. Evidence of dependable delivery on urgent assignments, suitable health and safety controls, competent personnel and the capacity to coordinate with NHS estates teams would strengthen a future proposition. The route used also shows that below-threshold requirements may be handled through a limited competition and, where justified, a waiver.
