## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust involved the direct awarding of a contract for the "Maintenance of Air Conditioning". This initiative falls under the industry category of works and was identified with the tender ID M/0849.

The procurement method employed was a direct, below-threshold process without competition. The contract was signed on the 12th of May, 2026, and is set to span from the 16th of May, 2026, to the 16th of May, 2031, covering multiple regions across the United Kingdom.

Companies with expertise in air conditioning maintenance in healthcare settings, particularly those looking to expand their service regions across the UK, would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes.
