This contract, classified under the "Repair and maintenance services of machinery" category, is crucial for maintaining the operational resilience of the hospital's critical facilities across three main locations in Nottingham: Queens Medical Centre, City Hospital, and Ropewalk House. The procurement is at the award stage, with the tender process having utilised an open procedure. The contract was signed on 18th August 2025 and involves a project duration of 24 months, with potential extensions making it a 60-month contract. The award criteria included a weighting of 55% on technical aspects, 10% on social value, and 35% on price considerations. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in technical maintenance, service provision for electrical machinery, and disaster recovery solutions. Companies specializing in generator servicing and with capabilities in offering temporary generator sets on short notice are particularly well-suited to compete. Given the NHS Trust's emphasis on high reliability, efficiency, and adherence to health technical memoranda and industry standards, companies with robust operational frameworks and value-for-money solutions will thrive. Additionally, as the procurement was open to SMEs, demonstrated by the active participation and bidding from small and medium enterprises, companies that fit these criteria might find compelling entry points into public sector contracts such as this. ## Notice A contractor is required to provide comprehensive planned generator servicing and maintenance (henceforth collectively "the service") to Nottingham University Hospitals Trust (The Client)'s generator sets, including, but not limited to, the following: a.
