UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust intends to procure comprehensive servicing and maintenance of generators across its hospital estate in Sheffield. The work is a generator repair and maintenance service (CPV 50532300), intended to keep the Trust’s generators maintained and serviced. The procurement is organised as a single lot, covering the estate rather than a specified individual site. Suppliers offering planned and responsive generator maintenance services are the relevant market. The Trust is the buying organisation and the service will be delivered in the United Kingdom, with Sheffield identified as the buyer’s location.

This is at the planning stage: the Trust has stated its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to publish a further notice on 4 January 2027. The planned contract period runs from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with a possible extension to 29 February 2032. The estimated value is £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The procurement is a single lot, and the buyer expects small and medium-sized businesses to be suitable. The current plan includes pre-market engagement, scheduled to conclude by 19 November 2026. No award criteria or detailed tender procedure are set out at this stage.

The work is suited to suppliers with the technical expertise and experience to service and maintain generators across a hospital estate. The Trust explicitly seeks suitably qualified and experienced providers, so businesses should be prepared to demonstrate relevant generator maintenance credentials, practical capacity to cover the estate, and a track record delivering this type of service. The single-lot structure and stated suitability for SMEs indicate that smaller specialist providers may be able to participate, subject to being able to meet the estate-wide service requirement. Pre-market engagement offers relevant businesses a chance to inform the buyer’s developing plans before the tender is issued. No particular accreditation, staffing level or technical standard is identified in the current plans.
