## Summary

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is seeking an independent Authorising Engineer for piped medical gas systems. The engineer will advise the Trust on medical gas installations and work alongside its consultant on designs and installations. Duties include assessing and recommending candidates for appointment as Authorised Persons, monitoring their performance, and providing an annual audit report to the designated Person. The service applies to the Trust’s piped medical gas systems and is governed by NHS guidance for medical gas pipeline systems. The work is for the Trust’s hospital estate in London. This is specialist engineering consultancy for healthcare infrastructure, rather than a contract to supply medical gases or install pipeline systems directly.

The Trust invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 30 October 2026 at 17:00, and the bid deadline was 9 November 2026 at 17:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2032, with two 12-month extension options, giving a possible end date of 3 January 2034. The estimated value is £140,000 excluding VAT (£168,000 including VAT). One lot covers the service. Evaluation is weighted 70% on quality and 30% on cost, using a 0–4 scoring matrix; quality responses are assessed for relevant detail and confidence in the supplier’s ability to meet the specification. The intended award decision date was 4 December 2026. Payments are monthly in arrears.

This opportunity suits specialist medical gas engineering consultancies and individual or team-based providers able to act as an independent professional adviser to an NHS trust. The lead Authorising Engineer must be registered with IHEEM and listed on its Authorising Engineer directory. The stated requirements also call for IHEEM national-register registration, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accreditation, IET membership or registration, and access to Registered Electrical Authorising Engineers, Chartered Engineers and Professional Witnesses. Suppliers need demonstrable competence to assess and recommend Authorised Persons, oversee performance, audit the service annually and advise on medical gas system designs and installations. Delivery requires knowledge of the relevant NHS technical guidance and applicable building, electrical, health and safety and engineering standards, alongside the Trust’s hospital engineering and design requirements. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are marked as suitable.
