## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust involved the selective award of a contract to hire portable air conditioning units. The tender, classified under "Air-conditioning appliances" and "Fans and air-conditioning appliances," was part of the Framework SBS10246. The services, to be delivered across Heartlands and Good Hope Hospitals, had a procurement value of £270,000 GBP. Sunbelt Rentals Limited was awarded the contract on 29th April 2026. This contract began on 1st May 2026 and is set to conclude on 30th September 2029. Notably, the procurement method was a call-off from a framework agreement specific to the needs of the foundation trust, while the potential for the agreement’s extension exists to include several other NHS foundations and trusts in the region.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in HVAC solutions and air-conditioning appliance services. Ideal candidates for such procurement processes would be large-scale suppliers capable of fulfilling substantial NHS contracts across multiple hospital sites. The structured framework agreement allows participating businesses to establish long-term relationships with various NHS trusts, potentially leading to additional call-off engagements. This, in turn, opens pathways for increased revenues and business expansion within the UK healthcare sector.
