## Summary

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust procured COSHH workplace gas monitoring services for its operating theatres. The requirement covers workplace monitoring associated with hazardous gases, including toxic gas detection and related health and safety services. Delivery is within the Trust’s operating theatres in Worcestershire, with the buying organisation based at Worcestershire Royal Hospital in Worcester. This is a specialist healthcare safety service rather than general facilities management, laboratory testing or building works. Businesses active in occupational gas monitoring, theatre safety systems, hazardous-substance compliance and toxic-gas detection would be the closest fit. The requirement is focused on maintaining safe operating-theatre environments and supporting the Trust’s responsibilities for controlling risks from hazardous gases in the workplace.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Cairn Technology Ltd. The award is active and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £23,990 excluding VAT and £28,788 including VAT. The evaluation outcome selected Cairn Technology Ltd for the COSHH workplace gas monitoring services. The process used a limited competition rather than an open procedure, so the appointed supplier was selected from a restricted field of competitors. This result identifies a defined two-year requirement for monitoring services in operating theatres, with the contract covering health and safety and toxic-gas detection activity under one completed lot.

This procurement demonstrates demand from an NHS acute hospital for specialist COSHH gas-monitoring support in operating theatres. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in detecting and monitoring toxic or otherwise hazardous workplace gases, together with a clear understanding of healthcare environments and the safety controls required around surgical facilities. Relevant capability would include delivering dependable monitoring services, interpreting findings accurately and supporting the buyer’s health and safety obligations. Suppliers should be able to work with an NHS Trust’s operational constraints, maintain consistent service quality across theatre areas and provide evidence that their personnel and methods are suitable for safety-critical work. The appointed supplier was a large specialist technology business, indicating that established technical capacity and the ability to deliver a structured service at hospital scale would strengthen a competing proposition.
