UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust commissioned ventilation authorising engineering services to cover requirements across the Trust. The work is an engineering and inspection service, supporting the Trust’s ventilation systems and the technical oversight associated with them. Delivery is across the Trust’s operations in Sussex. The requirement was organised as one lot and awarded as a single service contract. Iom Consulting Limited was selected to provide the service. This is a specialist professional-services requirement for firms with relevant ventilation engineering expertise and the ability to support a healthcare organisation across its Trust-wide estate.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Iom Consulting Limited. The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026, with a period running from 9 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £49,000 excluding VAT (£58,800 including VAT). The process comprised one lot, which was completed and awarded. The published contracting information does not state a detailed evaluation or award basis; the award outcome identifies Iom Consulting Limited as the selected supplier.

For firms considering similar future work for University Hospitals Sussex, this award demonstrates demand for ventilation authorising engineering support spanning the Trust rather than a single site. A credible competitor would need demonstrable competence in ventilation engineering and inspection, and the capacity to provide consistent technical support across a healthcare estate. Experience working in complex, operational healthcare environments would help a supplier understand the need to support ventilation systems while hospital services continue. The route used was a limited competition for a below-threshold requirement, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a restricted approach rather than rely on an openly advertised tender. The award to a specialist consultancy shows that focused engineering expertise can meet this requirement.
