## Summary

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist ventilation installation works for Theatre 7 and Theatre 9 at its site in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement covers modifying, installing, testing and commissioning ventilation and associated mechanical building-services systems. Its purpose is to maintain compliant operating-theatre environments, including suitable air quality, airflow performance and environmental conditions for the safe delivery of surgical services. This is a healthcare engineering and mechanical building-services requirement, with ventilation installation work classified under CPV 45331210. The work is specific to operating theatres, so suppliers need to understand the demanding environmental and operational requirements of clinical settings and the importance of maintaining compliant theatre conditions during and after installation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One completed lot was awarded to DPL Group Ltd. The contract was signed on 16 March 2026 and runs from 16 March 2026 to 15 March 2027. Its value is £350,266.92 excluding VAT, or £420,320.30 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies DPL Group Ltd as the selected supplier for the specialist ventilation installation and modification works. The available procurement information describes the route and requirement but does not set out an evaluated competitive tender basis, as the contract was awarded without competition.

This procurement demonstrates substantial demand from West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust for specialist ventilation and mechanical building-services capability in operating-theatre environments. A credible future supplier would need to deliver ventilation modifications and installations safely in a clinical setting, test systems thoroughly, and complete commissioning to the required performance and compliance standards. Relevant experience should include maintaining air quality, airflow and environmental conditions needed for surgical services, together with the planning and site controls required around live healthcare operations. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that a business of this scale can undertake the requirement. Firms combining specialist ventilation engineering, mechanical-services delivery, testing and commissioning expertise would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
