## Summary

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured the replacement of freezer units at the RSCH site. The requirement covers refrigeration and freezer infrastructure replacement, including the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of replacement freezer units. It is classified as repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000), although the stated work is centred on replacing physical equipment rather than providing an ongoing managed service. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust based in Worthing. The published delivery information places the work in the United Kingdom’s South East, while the procurement description identifies the RSCH site as the operational location. The requirement comprises one completed lot.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded by direct award to MASKOLD ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITED under the extreme and unavoidable urgency provisions of PA23 Schedule 5. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026. The award and contract value is £186,345 excluding VAT and £223,615 including VAT; it is above the applicable threshold. The active contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 May 2027. One supplier was selected for the single lot. The contract covers a one-off replacement, installation and commissioning requirement, with acceptance testing, delivery requirements, warranty provisions and other contractual obligations defining performance. The awarded category is services.

This procurement indicates demand from University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust for suppliers able to replace specialist refrigeration and freezer infrastructure in an NHS site. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to manage the full delivery chain: supplying suitable freezer units, coordinating delivery, carrying out installation and commissioning, and supporting acceptance testing. The requirement also points to the importance of dependable warranty arrangements and clear contractual commitments for equipment performance. Relevant businesses are therefore likely to be established refrigeration or commercial freezer infrastructure providers with the operational capacity to deliver, install and test replacement units in a healthcare environment. Experience of site coordination and controlled handover would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next requires comparable equipment replacement.
