UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust intends to procure planned preventative maintenance for the Trend 963 Building Management System at Maidstone Hospital. This is specialist building-controls maintenance, rather than maintenance of medical equipment. The work is intended to keep the hospital’s BMS operating through planned servicing. Maidstone Hospital, in Maidstone, is the named delivery location. The Trust is the buying organisation. The procurement is still at the planning stage: the buyer has expressed an intention to purchase the service, but has not yet invited tenders. Businesses providing maintenance and support for Trend 963 building management systems in healthcare or other complex buildings are the most directly relevant.

The procurement is in planning, before an invitation to tender. The Trust anticipates publishing a future notice on 2 November 2026; this is an expected publication date, not a bid deadline. It has planned preliminary market engagement, with expressions of interest expected by 30 October 2026. The buyer says the engagement documents will be published after that expression-of-interest period closes. The service is planned to run from 24 January 2027 to 23 January 2029. The procurement is arranged as one lot. It is below the relevant threshold. No procedure or evaluation approach is set out at this planning stage, and no monetary value or budget is stated.

This work is most relevant to firms able to maintain Trend 963 BMS installations and deliver planned preventative servicing at a hospital site. Suppliers with practical building-management-system engineering expertise, the capacity to support ongoing maintenance over the planned contract term, and experience working in operational healthcare buildings are well placed to prepare. The description points to a specific system, so businesses whose maintenance capability covers other BMS platforms alone may find the requirement less relevant. The planned market-engagement stage gives interested suppliers a chance to express interest before the buyer publishes the engagement documents. This is a preparation opportunity, not an invitation to submit a contract bid; suppliers should use the engagement stage to assess fit and prepare for a later procurement.
