## Summary

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured the hire of external fridge freezers for its cancer centre in Liverpool. The requirement is for refrigerated storage equipment supplied as a goods-based hire service, classified under CPV 39711100 for refrigerators and freezers. The delivery location is in Liverpool, within the Trust’s operational area. The buying organisation is an NHS foundation trust serving cancer patients and clinical services. This requirement would suit businesses that provide commercial or healthcare-sector fridge and freezer hire, together with the associated equipment supply, installation or support needed to keep external refrigerated units available for the centre’s operations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and awarded on the same date to BUNZL UK LIMITED. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2027. Its value is £23,159.38 excluding VAT, or £27,791.26 including VAT. There was one completed lot, covering the external fridge-freezer hire requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded route was direct procurement without competition, rather than an open tender with competing bids. The selected supplier is a large business, providing a useful benchmark for the scale and commercial route used by the Trust.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for externally located refrigerated storage at a cancer centre in Liverpool. A credible future competitor would need to provide fridge-freezer hire rather than only one-off equipment sales, and be able to support reliable supply for a clinical organisation. Relevant capability includes access to suitable commercial refrigeration units, arrangements for delivery to an NHS site, and the operational capacity to maintain the hired equipment throughout the service period. BUNZL UK LIMITED’s selection indicates that the buyer accepted a large, established supplier for this requirement, so competing businesses would need to demonstrate comparable dependability, scale and ability to manage a straightforward direct-award or below-threshold purchasing route.
