Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lanarkshire recently concluded the procurement process for the "UHM R22 Replacement Project," a service contract focused on the health industry. Located at the University Hospital Monklands in Airdrie (UKM84), this project aimed to replace and modify refrigeration units to use R407C refrigerant, ensuring compliance with environmental standards. The procurement followed an open procedure, and the contract was officially signed on 15th May 2026, with a contract value of £29,940. The entire procurement process was overseen from NHS Lanarkshire's headquarters in Bothwell, with final awards completed by 5th June 2026. The project was conducted under the guidelines of the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), highlighting NHS Lanarkshire's role as both the buyer and central purchasing body. The submission stage concluded on 27th March 2026, setting a brief yet critical timeline for suppliers.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses qualified in air conditioning and refrigerant technologies. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), such as B-DACS, the awarded supplier, demonstrate the potential for smaller companies to successfully compete and grow through government tenders. Companies specialising in environmental compliance and adept in handling modern refrigerants like R407C are well-positioned to join similar ventures in the future. Given that the procurement method allowed electronic submission and emphasised variant bids, innovative approaches and responsive adaptations to detailed technical requirements could enhance a competitive edge in forthcoming opportunities with public health sectors.
