Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited commissioned a plantroom upgrade at Louth County Community Hospital, Block 45. The work is classified as boiler installation and falls within building works. The requirement concerns upgrading the hospital’s plantroom; the published scope does not describe specific equipment, technical outputs or wider building work. The delivery location is Louth County Community Hospital in Louth. The buyer is NHS Property Services Limited, a public authority responsible for property services across the NHS estate. This is a site-specific hospital infrastructure project, relevant to contractors with experience in boiler installation and plantroom upgrade work in operational healthcare buildings.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to P J BIRD LIMITED. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026, with a period running from 5 October to 16 November 2026. Its value is £211,102 excluding VAT and £253,322.40 including VAT. The single-lot competition used a limited procedure below the applicable threshold. The award is active and the contract is active. The published data gives no detailed evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the basis for selecting the supplier beyond the limited competition is not described. This outcome records NHS Property Services’ purchase of boiler installation works for the Louth hospital plantroom, undertaken as a defined, short-duration upgrade project.

For a supplier preparing to compete for a comparable requirement from NHS Property Services, credible capability would centre on boiler installation and plantroom upgrade delivery, with the practical expertise to work within a hospital environment. The selected contractor was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this site-specific works package was delivered by an SME rather than requiring a large supplier by definition. The scale is substantial enough to require a contractor able to manage a complete plantroom upgrade as a discrete project, but the published scope does not identify particular accreditations, staffing levels, technical standards or specialist systems. Relevant past delivery of boiler and plantroom works, reliable project management, and the ability to coordinate work at an NHS hospital site would therefore be useful evidence when demonstrating capability for this buyer’s requirement.
