UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned an Authorising Engineer for decontamination, providing independent professional advice to the Trust in line with HTM guidance and regulations. This is a specialist building consultancy service focused on decontamination engineering within the Trust’s healthcare estate. The requirement is for an independent adviser rather than the supply of equipment or construction work. The procurement is associated with one lot and the appointed supplier is Posillipo Consulting Services. The contracting information does not identify a specific delivery site, so the requirement should be understood as serving the Trust’s decontamination-authorising needs rather than a named hospital location.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Posillipo Consulting Services. The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. Its stated value is £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT. The contract includes options, but there is no guarantee that the full value will be taken up; break clauses apply after year three. The process was divided into one lot. The award information does not set out evaluation criteria or describe how competing offers were scored.

For firms considering this buyer’s future decontamination-authorising requirement, the award indicates demand for independent professional advice aligned with HTM guidance and regulations. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in decontamination engineering and the ability to act as an impartial Authorising Engineer for an NHS trust. The contract’s multi-year term indicates a sustained advisory requirement, while the limited-competition route shows that suppliers may be considered through a restricted process rather than an open tender. Posillipo Consulting Services, recorded as an SME, won this award, demonstrating that a smaller consultancy can be appointed. The work is specialist consultancy, so relevant technical experience, professional credibility and sufficient capacity to advise the Trust over an extended period are central to competing effectively.
