## Summary

Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust commissioned works at Wareham Hospital to replace the hospital’s hot-water plant. The requirement covers removing the existing gas-fired hot-water boiler plant and upgrading the system to a plate heat exchanger. This is a specialist mechanical and building-services works opportunity, specifically involving boiler installation and associated hot-water plant replacement. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust based in Poole, Dorset, while the operational work is at Wareham Hospital. Suppliers whose business includes healthcare-site mechanical works, commercial hot-water systems, boiler plant removal, heat-exchanger installation and related commissioning would recognise the requirement as within their field. The procurement was arranged as a single lot covering the complete replacement works.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was awarded to Southern Piped Services. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and is active from 1 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £36,297.13 excluding VAT and £43,556.55 including VAT. The recorded classification is boiler installation work. The contracting process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer, and Southern Piped Services is the selected supplier. The tender and lot are recorded as complete, while the associated contract remains active for the stated delivery period.

This award indicates that Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust purchases focused mechanical works to maintain and upgrade hospital hot-water infrastructure through below-threshold limited competition. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to demonstrate practical capability in removing gas-fired boiler plant, installing or upgrading plate heat-exchanger systems, and delivering complete hot-water plant replacement works. Relevant firms are likely to need competent site delivery, coordination of mechanical installation and commissioning, and the ability to work safely within an operational healthcare environment. Experience of hospital or other occupied public-sector sites would help a supplier present a credible response when this buyer next requires comparable works. The requirement is suited to established mechanical-services contractors with the capacity to deliver a defined, single-site plant replacement project.
