## Summary

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde participated in the procurement process to award a contract for the maintenance of the Pneumatic Tube System at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Classified under mechanical and electrical engineering services, this contract falls within the services category. A limited procurement method was utilised without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the unique requirements of the system involved. The procurement was concluded with an active contract awarded to SWL Healthcare Limited, effective from 20 June 2025, with a completion date of 30 June 2030. Mechanisms like a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice were used to ensure compliance and transparency within the regulatory framework.

This procurement presents a notable opportunity for businesses adept in mechanical and electrical engineering services. While the contract was directly awarded to SWL Healthcare Limited due to specific system maintenance requirements, future opportunities in such specialised technical services could emerge for firms capable of dealing with bespoke maintenance issues. Engineering companies with expertise in closed loop systems, especially those related to healthcare facilities, could position themselves as potential future partners in similar public sector projects, highlighting the importance of keeping abreast with upcoming procurements in the healthcare sector.
