## Summary

The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured medical gas pipeline maintenance services for Hillingdon Hospital in Uxbridge and Mount Vernon Hospital in Northwood. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance, servicing, testing, reactive maintenance and emergency support for medical gas pipeline systems, including associated plant and, where required, testing of local exhaust ventilation systems. Emergency support includes attendance and an initial assessment within four hours, with four planned preventative maintenance visits at each site every year. This is a specialist healthcare engineering and medical gas systems service, classified under repair and maintenance services for medical and surgical equipment. The work is delivered across the two hospital sites in west and north-west London.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to S.H.J. Hospital Pipelines Limited. The award was made on 16 September 2026 through a direct award under the NHS Shared Business Services Hard Facilities Management 2 Framework, Lot 8.5 for air compressors and medical gas pipelines, without a prior competition. Price was the stated award criterion, and one electronic bid was received from an SME. The initial contract period is 36 months, from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2029. Two optional 12-month extensions are provided, with a possible expiry on 20 September 2031. The initial value is £178,573.71 excluding VAT; the maximum value including both extensions is £306,700.34 excluding VAT. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and is active.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS hospital trust for a specialist medical gas pipeline contractor able to maintain critical systems across multiple acute hospital sites. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in planned preventative maintenance, annual servicing of associated plant, medical gas pipeline testing, reactive repairs and round-the-clock emergency response, including attendance and initial assessment within four hours. Experience of working safely in live healthcare environments and supporting essential clinical infrastructure would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be able to deliver regular visits at more than one site, manage local exhaust ventilation testing where required, and provide reliable service records and technical support. The procurement was routed through a facilities management framework and attracted a single SME bid, indicating a focused specialist market.
