## Summary

The Nottingham City Campus is planning a procurement process for the maintenance of the Pneumatic Air Tube System at the QMC Campus. This tender, titled "Pneumatic Air Tube System Maintenance," falls under the works category, specifically classified as "Compressed-air pipeline work for mailing system." The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a total estimated value of £25,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in maintenance services, particularly those familiar with pneumatic systems or those already providing services to the healthcare sector.
