## Summary

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust intends to procure boiler chemicals and related services for boilers and water-softening plant. The scope includes supplying boiler-treatment chemicals and servicing softeners and boilers. The work is classified as water-treatment works. The buyer is the NHS Trust, based in Maidstone, Kent. The planned work is associated with a single lot; no specific delivery site is identified in the planning details. This is an early-stage procurement plan: the Trust has set out its intention to buy these services, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. Suppliers in boiler-water treatment, chemical supply and maintenance of softening equipment should assess whether their service coverage and technical offer fit the Trust’s requirements as these are developed.

The procurement is at planning stage, with no invitation to tender yet. The Trust expects to publish a tender notice on 1 December 2026. An engagement milestone is scheduled for 16 November 2026; the plan says the specification is to be published with the tender documents after the expression of interest period closes. The intended contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The procurement is planned as one lot and is below the applicable threshold. The planning information does not establish a procedure, submission deadline, estimated contract value or evaluation criteria. The stated scope is boiler chemicals, softener service and boiler and plant-softener services. No budget or monetary value is stated.

This work is likely to suit suppliers able to provide boiler-treatment chemicals alongside practical servicing for boilers and water-softening plant. A combined supply and maintenance capability appears relevant to the stated scope; specialist water-treatment contractors and chemical suppliers with suitable service teams may wish to prepare for the tender stage. The planned multi-year service calls for suppliers able to support delivery and maintenance over an extended contract term. The Trust has not yet published the specification, so the detailed technical requirements and any required accreditations or experience have not been established in the planning information. Interested businesses can use the planned market-engagement process to understand and help shape the requirement before the tender documents are issued. No particular credentials, capacity thresholds or evaluation priorities have yet been set out.
