## Summary

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust procured works to replace air handling units (AHUs) and a BlueBox chiller that had reached the end of their service life. The requirement covers air-conditioning installation work, including removal and replacement of ventilation and air-conditioning plant serving the Trust. Delivery is in London, with the listed location associated with postcode SE13 6LH. This is a hard facilities management requirement for a healthcare organisation, rather than a supply-only purchase or routine maintenance service. The appointed contractor would need to manage the replacement of major mechanical building-services equipment and deliver the associated installation works in an operational NHS environment.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from the NHSSBS Hard Facilities Management 2 framework, Lot 5.1 for ventilation and air conditioning. The tender deadline was 16 October 2025 at 12:00. Artic Building Services Limited was awarded the contract on 1 April 2026 for £2,870,000 including the published award value. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 April 2027. The procurement value was stated as £2,877,997.86, with a minimum estimated value of £2,870,000, both in GBP. The opportunity was classified as works.

This award indicates demand for substantial ventilation and air-conditioning replacement work within Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrated capability in replacing air handling units, chillers and related mechanical services, with the technical capacity to deliver a sizeable installation project rather than isolated maintenance tasks. Experience of hard facilities management frameworks, particularly requirements covering ventilation and air conditioning, would be commercially relevant. Suppliers would also need the resources, project management and site coordination skills to work safely in a live healthcare setting, where continuity of building services and careful control of installation activities are important. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this type of specialist contractor can deliver the requirement at scale.
