Description

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Trust) has awarded a contract for ongoing servicing and maintenance of the medical gas pipeline system (MGPS) located at the Nottingham City Hospital (The Services).
 
The purpose of the Services is to ensure the Trust complies with Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) 02-01 as well as applicable standards and relevant legislation.
 
The objective is to ensure the provision of safe and reliable medical gas pipeline system (MGPS) for administering of medical gases (E.g. oxygen) to patients under the care of the Trust.

The Term is 24 months to 30 April 2026 with the option to extend for a further 36 months. This extension shall take the form of three 12 month incremental periods.

An MGPS comprises a source of supply, pipeline distribution system, terminal units (to which the 
user connects and disconnects medical equipment) and a warning/alarm system. Systems include for, but are not limited to, provision of: oxygen, nitrous oxide and medical air for respiratory and surgical applications.
 
To ensure the MGPS operates safely and reliably, the Trust requires a contractor to provide regular planned preventative maintenance to mitigate risks of faults or failures occurring as well as reactive maintenance services, such as call outs. A minor issue, such as a leak in the pipeline for example, may have major consequences such as patient fatality as a result of oxygen deprivation.

The Contract has been procured via direct award as permitted under Lot 11 (Medical Gas Systems) of the North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOECPC) NOE.0289 Estates, Maintenance and Engineering Services (Hard FM) Framework. https://www.noecpc.nhs.uk/free-contracts/estates-maintenance-and-engineering-services-hard-fm

Minor Works Framework 2026-2030

The Minor Works Framework (MWF) was first procured in 2017 as two separate frameworks, one for Building Fabric and the other for Mechanical and Electrical services, to provide compliant procurement routes for the Hampshire County Council's Property Services team for lower value or specialist, building fabric and mechanical & electrical works. The current framework, procured in 2021, combined the two frameworks into a single framework with seven lots, and introduced a process of direct award on rotation to create efficiencies in procuring low value works and has provided more distribution of works across our supply chain. As the Council has an ongoing requirement for Minor Works, the intention is to build on the success of the current framework and having taken into account any lessons learned from the current arrangement, to develop the replacement Minor Works Framework 2026-2030. The maximum number of Suppliers that will be included in each lot is listed above in paragraph 1.2 to 1.8 and below in 18.2. Where the authority is unable to achieve the specified number of Suppliers for a lot, either through lack of returns or returns failing to meet the Authorities minimum requirements, that lot will be established with fewer than the intended maximum number. Suppliers may apply for one lot or up to a maximum of two lots. However, Suppliers who wish to apply for two lots can only apply for any one of the lots from Lot 1 to Lot 5 plus either Lot 6 or Lot 7. Alternatively, Suppliers can apply for Lot 6 and Lot 7. The process for awarding works through this framework will vary depending on the Lot as well as the contracting authority’s internal governance process, however there are two main principles of appointing Suppliers through the framework: Mini Competition - For projects where the estimated value is between the lot values, all the Suppliers on a Lot will be invited to confirm, by way of an expression of interest (EOI) based on basic project information. The EOI will accept responses for 5 working days, after which the EOI period will close and the Mini-Competition will be issued to interested Suppliers. Failure to respond to an EOI issued in the timeframe, will be considered that a Supplier is un-interested and the mini competition will only be issued to those Suppliers who submitted an EOI. Award without further competition (Direct Award) – For projects where the estimated value is between the lot values, the works can be awarded without further competition on a rotational system. The rotational list is prepared based on ranking of bidders from the framework procurement, starting from highest to lowest ranked bids in each lot. The Framework Agreement is available to all Public Sector organisations and Registered Charities within Hampshire, Isle of Wight and the surrounding Counties. This includes but is not limited to: Unitary Authorities, District, Borough, Town and Parish Councils, Fire and Police Authorities and successor counties/authorities, Local Education Schools, National Park Authorities, the NHS, Faith establishments, Universities, Colleges, Academies, ‘Free’ and maintained schools. Contracting Authorities may enter into underlying Contracts with the contractor(s) during the term of the Framework Agreement by following the Call-off Procedure as detailed in the Framework Guidelines and Working Practices. The Contracting Authorities can call-off from multiple lots should they wish to once they have signed the access agreements with HCC.
