Summary of the contracting process

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust procured temporary air-conditioning units for QEII. The requirement is classified as a facilities management service and concerns the provision of temporary cooling equipment rather than permanent building works or a general maintenance programme. The buying organisation is an NHS trust based at Lister Hospital in Stevenage. The named requirement is specifically associated with QEII, but the available procurement information does not identify a separate delivery address. The opportunity therefore concerns businesses able to supply temporary air-conditioning equipment as part of a managed facilities service for an NHS buyer. It is a single requirement, covering one defined service rather than multiple lots or distinct work packages.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The Trust used a direct procedure described as below threshold and without competition, in line with its standing financial instructions. Community Health Partnerships Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 29 May 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £12,851.80 excluding VAT, or £15,422.16 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender is complete and the award is active. Evaluation was therefore carried out through a direct award route rather than a competitive assessment, with no published price-quality weighting or separate selection criteria. The requirement falls below the applicable threshold.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the procurement is evidence that the Trust uses a direct, below-threshold route for a focused temporary cooling need. Businesses best placed for a comparable requirement would have a credible ability to supply temporary air-conditioning units and manage their delivery as a facilities service. Relevant capability would include arranging suitable equipment quickly, coordinating installation or positioning, and supporting reliable operation throughout the required service period. Experience of working for NHS trusts or other organisations with operational buildings would help demonstrate understanding of access, continuity and site-management requirements, although the published procurement does not set out formal accreditation, staffing or technical qualification requirements. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating capacity for this scale of managed service.
