Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited commissioned services for MRI chiller equipment at Gloucestershire Hospitals. The requirement covers Chiller 2, which needs two replacement compressors, and Chiller 3, which needs a fan speed controller. This is specialist repair and maintenance work for building installations, including the diagnosis, supply and fitting of critical refrigeration and control components supporting MRI operations. The work is associated with the Gloucestershire Hospitals estate, with the buying organisation based in Cheltenham. Businesses suited to this requirement would typically provide industrial or healthcare cooling-system maintenance, compressor replacement and fan-speed control expertise, with the ability to work safely around equipment supporting clinical services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Airedale International Air Conditioning Limited was selected for the single requirement, and the award is active. The award date and contract signature date were 11 September 2026. The contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £58,451.97 excluding VAT and £70,142.36 including VAT. The stated procurement category is services, covering repair and maintenance of building installations. The published process identifies no competitive evaluation basis; the route used was a direct award without competition. The buyer is Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited, and the contract is titled CGH MRI Chillers.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it gives competing suppliers a clear picture of the buyer’s technical demand and the type of provider appointed. A credible future supplier would need practical expertise in MRI chiller systems, including replacing compressors and installing or configuring fan speed controllers. It would need to deliver specialist building-services maintenance reliably in a hospital environment, where cooling performance supports diagnostic equipment and continuity of clinical operations. Relevant capability would include competent engineers, access to compatible replacement components, fault diagnosis, planned and reactive maintenance, and safe working around live healthcare facilities. Suppliers able to combine original-equipment or equivalent component knowledge with responsive site-based service would be well placed for a comparable requirement from this buyer.
