Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust bought and arranged installation of a cold-room facility. The requirement covers refrigeration equipment and the associated installation work. Delivery locations are listed across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust serving Derby and Burton. This is a practical supply-and-install requirement for businesses providing commercial refrigeration equipment and installation, rather than a general building project or standalone maintenance service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Industrial Refrigeration Services Limited. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and ran from 22 to 23 September 2026. Its value was £37,310 excluding VAT (£44,772 including VAT). The requirement was procured below the applicable threshold; the specific procedure is recorded as unknown. There was one lot, covering the cold-room purchase and installation. The award is active and the contract is active. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the published procurement details.

This award shows demand from the Trust for a complete cold-room supply and installation, with equipment provision and refrigeration installation handled together. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to source and install commercial refrigeration systems and deliver a turnkey facility, rather than offer equipment alone. The buyer selected Industrial Refrigeration Services Limited, an SME, demonstrating that a smaller specialist supplier can deliver this scale of work. Relevant businesses should be able to meet the Trust’s operational requirements and coordinate equipment supply with installation across the stated English delivery area. The purchase-and-install model is the clearest indication of the capability needed when this requirement returns.
