## Summary

The University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, a central government authority based in Bristol, has awarded a contract for "STA Ventilation Verification" to APPROVED AIR LIMITED. This contract falls under the category of ventilation consultancy services and pertains to ensuring continued compliance with healthcare technical memoranda (HTM). The procurement method used was a direct award, acknowledging that the incumbent continues to provide the best value, with no new tender opportunity currently available. The contract period begins on 3rd June 2026 and extends until 2nd June 2029.

This direct award holds significant business potential, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in ventilation consultancy and compliance services. Despite being an extension rather than a new tender, the contract highlights the importance of maintaining and benchmarking service quality. Businesses with expertise in healthcare compliance and a proven record of offering value for money could find similar opportunities in future tenders. The involvement of a well-established buyer like the NHS Foundation Trust enhances the prospect for long-term business relationships and entry into the healthcare market.

## Notice

Out of scope extension to an existing contract to allow for continued HTM compliance until the requirement is retendered. There has been benchmarking to ensure that best value is maintained and the incumbent continues to offer the best value supplier of this service. This is NOT a tender opportunity.

### Procurement Information

Continuation of current service - it is anticipated that this will be retendered during the term of this agreement, but the benchmarking activity has shown that the incumbent still offers best value.
