UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust is procuring works to replace ageing mechanical equipment serving an MRI–PET scanner chiller. The requirement is classified as construction work. The work is associated with the Trust’s Trafford Hospital in Trafford, Greater Manchester.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with quotations as the submission format. This is a single-lot procurement. The deadline for questions was 9 October 2026 at 12:00; the bid deadline was 13 November 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 16 November to 4 December 2026, with an award decision due by 16 November 2026. The estimated value is £20,000 excluding VAT (£24,000 including VAT). Bids are assessed on commercial price and cost-effectiveness, technical suitability to deliver, and integration of social value; commercial is ranked first, technical second and social value third. The stated payment term is 30 days.

This opportunity suits mechanical engineering and building-services contractors able to replace ageing chiller equipment serving specialist medical imaging infrastructure. Suppliers need the technical capability to deliver the replacement works within a short, defined contract period, and to demonstrate suitability to deliver. Competition also requires a commercially effective price and an approach that integrates social considerations. The requirement is a discrete, single-lot works package, making it relevant to firms equipped to undertake a focused equipment-replacement project rather than a broader, multi-lot programme. The procurement’s stated evaluation order places commercial considerations ahead of technical suitability and social value, so bidders should address all three in their quotation while giving particular attention to price and cost-effectiveness.
