Summary of the contracting process

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust sought boiler water-treatment and softener services, including boiler chemical treatment, boiler servicing and plant softener services (water-treatment work, CPV 45232430). The work is for Maidstone Hospital and Tunbridge Wells Hospital. The procurement is described as a works requirement, covering treatment and servicing of the Trust’s boiler and water-softening plant. The notice says the detailed specification and description of works would be issued with the tender documents after the expression-of-interest stage. The Trust is the buying organisation. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide the combination of chemical treatment, boiler maintenance and water-softener services across both hospital sites.

The Trust invited offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. The process reached the tender stage; the submission deadline set by the buyer was 16 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The published evaluation basis for the single lot is price. Bids may be submitted electronically or in writing, and English is the submission language. The notice describes an earlier expression-of-interest stage, after which the detailed specification and description of works would be provided with the tender documents. The procurement is not stated to have been cancelled or withdrawn.

This requirement is suited to suppliers with practical expertise in boiler water chemistry, chemical dosing and treatment, boiler servicing, and water-softener plant maintenance. Providers able to deliver a coordinated service across two hospital sites are likely to be better placed to meet the operational scope than firms offering only one element. The buyer’s stated evaluation basis is price, so competitive costings will matter alongside the ability to cover the complete service. Suppliers should be prepared to work in a hospital environment and to explain how they will maintain boiler and softener systems reliably, although no specific accreditations, staffing levels or experience thresholds are set out in the published information.
