Summary of the contracting process

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust bought planned and responsive maintenance services for gas appliances at Hull Royal Infirmary, Castle Hill Hospital and the Sterile Services Unit. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of gas appliances used across these hospital facilities. This is a specialist building-services maintenance opportunity rather than a supply-only purchase, and would suit contractors able to inspect, maintain and repair gas appliances in operational healthcare buildings. The named buyer is the NHS trust responsible for the facilities. The work is centred on Hull, with the requirement covering the trust’s hospital and sterile-services sites in the local area. The procurement is classified as repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000).

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Airco Refrigeration and Airconditioning Limited was awarded the single lot, and the contract was signed on 24 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £17,692.87 excluding VAT, or £21,231.44 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier for the requirement. The available procurement record does not set out a scored evaluation basis; the route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition.

For a competing supplier, this award is evidence that the NHS trust purchases a defined gas-appliance maintenance service across multiple healthcare sites through a below-threshold direct-award route. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in gas-appliance inspection, servicing, repair and ongoing maintenance, together with the operational capacity to support Hull Royal Infirmary, Castle Hill Hospital and the Sterile Services Unit. The requirement favours a contractor able to coordinate work across several live healthcare premises, respond reliably to estate-maintenance needs and maintain service continuity around hospital operations. A business with an established maintenance team, suitable gas-appliance competence and experience managing geographically close institutional sites would be well placed to assess similar demand from this buyer when the requirement returns to market.
