Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned a survey of air handling units (AHUs) at its PMoK and WACS sites. The work falls within building and facilities management services and concerns the Trust’s hospital facilities. The stated scope is a survey of the AHUs at those two locations; no further survey tasks or technical outputs are described. The Trust is based at Watford General Hospital in Watford, Hertfordshire. The contract title refers to PMoK and WACS, but the source does not expand those site abbreviations, so their locations cannot be identified more precisely from the available description.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Troup Bywaters + Anders. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is active, and the contract is also active. It was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September to 30 October 2026. The contract value is £13,250 excluding VAT, or £15,900 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the AHU survey. The published award data does not state evaluation criteria or explain how the supplier was selected.

This award shows that West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust buys specialist surveying of air handling units across its hospital sites, as part of building and facilities management. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need the technical capability to inspect and assess AHUs in an operational hospital environment and to deliver a focused survey across multiple sites. The award went to Troup Bywaters + Anders, a large supplier, indicating that the buyer selected an established provider for this requirement. The procurement was made by direct award without competition, so the published process provides no evidence of scored criteria or a competitive evaluation model against which prospective suppliers can position themselves. This is a narrow facilities-engineering requirement, rather than a broad hospital maintenance contract.
