## Summary

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned environmental consultancy services for Lincoln County Hospital. The work comprised a strategic appraisal of decarbonisation options and the key enablers needed to progress them, alongside a strategic review of the hospital’s combined heat and power (CHP) contract. The CHP work also covered an audit of its payment mechanism and an assessment of the contract’s decarbonisation impact. The requirement focused on advising the Trust on its energy arrangements and potential routes to reduce carbon emissions at the Lincoln hospital site.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Cawcliffe Ltd on 21 October 2026. The award value was £49,444. The contract runs from 12 October to 4 December 2026. The Trust used a selective procedure, calling off from a framework agreement. The original estimated procurement value was also £49,444, and submissions were due by 1 October 2026. The work was procured as a single requirement covering the decarbonisation options appraisal and CHP contract review; no separate lots are listed. The published information does not set out an evaluation breakdown or specific eligibility tests, so the award outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not explain the comparative basis for selection.

For future requirements of this kind, a credible supplier would need to combine strategic energy decarbonisation advice with detailed review of combined heat and power arrangements. Relevant capability includes assessing practical decarbonisation options and the enablers needed to implement them, reviewing CHP contract terms, auditing payment mechanisms, and evaluating the carbon impact of existing energy contracts. The award shows that this Trust buys focused consultancy for an individual hospital site, rather than a broad infrastructure delivery package. Suppliers able to bring together commercial contract scrutiny and technical understanding of hospital energy systems would be well placed to address a similar requirement. The Trust procured this work through a framework call-off, so framework access and experience delivering concise, site-specific advisory work are commercially relevant.
