Summary of the contracting process

QE Facilities Ltd commissioned planned preventive maintenance for four humidifiers at its CDC site in Gateshead. The work is a maintenance service intended to keep the humidifiers operating, with four service visits each year. The requirement covers the equipment at that site rather than a wider facilities maintenance programme. The awarded supplier, Condair Limited, is based in Littlehampton. The procurement is classed as repair and maintenance services. The stated delivery location in the award data is the United Kingdom; the tender title and description identify the site as Gateshead.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Condair Limited. QE Facilities Ltd used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its stated value is £13,440 excluding VAT and £16,128 including VAT. The requirement is presented as one lot. The award data does not set out an evaluation basis or participation criteria; the recorded route was a non-competitive direct award. The contract is active, and the award is active.

For a supplier considering this buyer’s future humidifier maintenance requirements, credibility would depend on being able to maintain and service humidification equipment across a regular programme of planned visits. The work is a focused, single-site service rather than a large multi-site facilities contract, but it requires the capacity to cover four humidifiers and deliver repeated visits throughout the year. Specialist experience with humidifier systems, the ability to diagnose and prevent faults, and reliable scheduling would be relevant strengths. Condair Limited, an SME, secured the work through a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or establish formal qualification requirements. Suppliers should be prepared to show that they can provide dependable planned maintenance at this scale for QE Facilities Ltd.
