Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited bought annual verification and inspection of air handling units (AHUs) at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. The planned service covers theatre ventilation systems and other specialist or critical systems defined under HTM 03-01. The work is maintenance and inspection of mechanical building installations and cooling equipment. Lifecycle Procurement Services managed the procurement on the buyer’s behalf. The contracted service is for the hospital in Gloucestershire; the listed delivery location is in the county. The requirement is focused on checking and verifying existing AHUs and associated critical systems, rather than supplying general facilities services or undertaking broad building works.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to AirisQ Limited. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, up to 30 September 2028. The contract value is £64,132 excluding VAT (£76,958.40 including VAT). It was a below-threshold procurement; the specific procurement method is recorded as unknown. The requirement was handled as one lot. The award date and evaluation criteria are not stated in the available process details. The contract is active, and the selected supplier is an SME.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement in future, this award indicates demand for planned, recurring AHU verification and inspection at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, including theatre ventilation and specialist or critical systems covered by HTM 03-01. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to inspect and verify hospital air handling systems and associated cooling equipment, and to work safely in a live healthcare environment where critical and theatre systems are involved. Experience with the relevant healthcare technical requirements and the capacity to deliver a scheduled annual service would be commercially relevant. The buyer used a below-threshold route for this single-lot requirement, and selected an SME supplier, suggesting that specialist service providers can compete without the work being bundled into a wider facilities contract.
