## Summary

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured specialist ventilation services for its UCV theatres. The requirement covers ventilation-system inspection and maintenance, including laminar-flow systems used in theatre environments. This is a healthcare facilities-management service supporting the safe and reliable operation of controlled clinical ventilation. The buying organisation is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, based in Harlow, Essex. The selected supplier is Medical Air Technology Facilities Management Limited, a large facilities-management business. The requirement is focused on technical maintenance of theatre ventilation rather than general building services, so it is most relevant to businesses with specialist expertise in healthcare ventilation, ultraclean or laminar-flow environments, and associated inspection work.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, approved through a waiver under its standing financial instructions. One lot was awarded to Medical Air Technology Facilities Management Limited. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £14,156 excluding VAT, or £16,987.20 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated and progressed as a direct, below-threshold purchase rather than through an open tender, so there was no competitive bid process for suppliers to participate in.

For a supplier assessing future opportunities with this Trust, the award indicates demand for a focused healthcare ventilation-maintenance service serving UCV theatres. A credible competitor would need practical capability in inspecting, maintaining and supporting laminar-flow ventilation systems in clinical theatre settings, with the operational discipline required around healthcare environments. Relevant experience would include managing specialist ventilation assets, carrying out planned technical work and producing reliable inspection or maintenance outputs for an NHS customer. The selected supplier’s profile also indicates that the requirement can suit an established facilities-management provider with sufficient specialist capacity. Businesses with a comparable healthcare portfolio, technical maintenance team and ability to work safely around live clinical operations would be well placed when this requirement returns.
