## Summary

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust commissioned improvement works for Ward 60 at its hospital in Chester. The requirement is classified as works and covers mechanical engineering installation. This places the opportunity within the building-services and mechanical-installation market, rather than general healthcare provision or the supply of standalone equipment. The buyer is the hospital trust, and the work is to be carried out at its Chester site. The selected supplier, Airflow Cooling Ltd, is based in Sheffield and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is therefore relevant to mechanical engineering, building-services and specialist installation contractors able to undertake improvement works within an operational hospital environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. The buyer used a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. Airflow Cooling Ltd was selected for the sole lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026, runs from 22 August 2026 to 22 September 2026, and was awarded on 21 August 2026. Its value is £72,514.50 excluding VAT, or £87,017.40 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through a direct award rather than competing tenders. The contract title is A90562 – Ward 60 Improvement Works, and the underlying work is classified as mechanical engineering installation works.

For a supplier assessing future hospital estates work, this procurement demonstrates a requirement for mechanical engineering installation as part of ward improvement works at the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. A credible competitor would need practical capability in mechanical building services, installation and improvement projects, with the capacity to work safely and effectively in a hospital setting. Experience of coordinating site work around clinical operations, meeting healthcare construction and safety requirements, and delivering a defined installation package would strengthen its position. Airflow Cooling Ltd’s selection shows that an SME can supply this type of specialist work. Contractors with comparable mechanical installation expertise should monitor this buyer’s estates requirements and be prepared to demonstrate relevant delivery experience and operational reliability.
