Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust procured environmental decontamination services for its endoscopy operations. The requirement covers decontamination work provided by PFE Medical as a partner for endoscopy, rather than the supply of equipment or general cleaning. The buying organisation is based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in Edgbaston and operates NHS hospital services. The procurement concerns specialist infection-control support associated with endoscopy, making it relevant to businesses that provide environmental or medical decontamination services for healthcare settings. PFE Medical, based in Stoke-on-Trent, was the supplier selected for this service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to PFE Medical through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is active and the contract was signed on 30 June 2026. It runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The contract value is £28,704 excluding VAT and £34,444 including VAT. The award covers environmental decontamination services. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. This outcome identifies the incumbent supplier and the agreed service period for the requirement.

This award is evidence of a defined NHS requirement for specialist decontamination supporting endoscopy at University Hospitals Birmingham. Competitors considering similar work for this buyer would need a service specifically suited to healthcare decontamination and to the operational demands of endoscopy environments. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted delivery by an established provider with the organisational capacity to support the service. Relevant businesses should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable healthcare service delivery, appropriate operational capacity and experience of managing decontamination work as an ongoing service rather than a one-off cleaning job.
