Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured services to maintain and service hot-water calorifiers, including electric boilers. The requirement falls within boiler repair and maintenance services and concerns the ongoing upkeep of hot-water equipment rather than the supply of standalone products or a construction project. It was bought by the Trust for its operational estate. The named supplier, AWP Services Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The work is therefore relevant to businesses that specialise in planned and reactive maintenance of commercial hot-water systems, calorifiers and electric boilers, particularly those able to support a public-sector healthcare organisation’s estate and service requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to AWP Services Ltd. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 30 September 2028. Its value is £13,778 excluding VAT and £16,533.60 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the hot-water calorifier and electric-boiler service and maintenance requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies AWP Services Ltd as the selected supplier; no separate competitive evaluation basis is recorded for this direct award.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of the Trust’s demand for specialist hot-water plant maintenance. Competitors would need practical capability in servicing and repairing commercial boilers and calorifiers, including electric boilers, and the capacity to provide ongoing support across a multi-year service arrangement. A credible supplier would be able to manage routine maintenance alongside faults and repairs, understand the operational importance of reliable hot-water systems in an NHS estate, and deliver consistently against planned service requirements. The award to an SME also shows that a business of modest scale can provide this type of specialist service to the Trust, provided it has the relevant technical workforce, equipment and delivery capacity.
