Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Client) is seeking a Contractor for provision of planned preventative servicing and maintenance (PPM), testing and reactive maintenance for its existing mobile high Efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration units at the relevant Premises and Locations; the Nottingham City Hospital and Queen’s Medical Centre. The objective of the contract is to mitigate risks associated with airborne contamination. Ventilation in the clinical setting is vital in reducing the risks of cross transmission. While this is well recognised in areas such as operating theatres, it is considered applicable to all clinical settings. Ventilation works to dilute, disperse and remove particles in the air. This is especially important where patients with respiratory viruses are under the Authority’s care and/or undergoing procedures. A contract was procured during 2020 for the purchase of ~250 mobile HEPA filtration units to complement the existing ventilation measures and mitigate the risk of cross transmission of COVID-19 infections through airborne contamination. The contract was for 5 years and included the initial purchase alongside ongoing servicing and maintenance. It is envisaged the mobile HEPA filtration units are effective at mitigating other potential transmissible infections other than COVID i.e. Other seasonal respiratory viruses, MRSA, Pulmonary Tb, further reducing risks of cross transmission. Therefore, the Authority is currently preparing a business case for servicing and maintenance of the existing mobile HEPA air filtration units on an ongoing basis. The purpose of this exercise is to gauge interest from the market, understand its capability to deliver the Services and seek your views to inform any eventual procurement exercise undertaken by the Authority. The objective is to identify and mitigate any potential issues to help ensure a “right first time” approach to any eventual procurement exercise.

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Client) is seeking a Contractor for provision of ongoing planned preventative maintenance (e.g. testing, servicing and maintenance) as well as reactive maintenance (E.g. responding to faults and failures, subsequent investigation, repair and testing) of the fire alarm system located at the Nottingham City Hospital and Queen’s Medical Centre. To ensure Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Client) complies with its responsibilities required by law, Government guidelines and requirements of NHS England, the Client is seeking a Contractor for provision of servicing and maintenance of its fire alarm systems at Nottingham City Hospital, the Queen's Medical Centre and Ropewalk House (The Service). The Service shall consist of ongoing planned preventative maintenance (e.g. testing, servicing and maintenance) as well as reactive maintenance (E.g. responding to faults and failures, subsequent investigation, repair and testing) and subsequent remedial work of the fire alarm system located at each of the Client's properties. It is understood the systems at Nottingham City Hospital (Gent) and Queen's Medical Centre (Ziton) are closed protocol.

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Authority) is publishing this planned procurement notice is to give as much advance information to the market as possible with regards to the provision of installation, servicing and maintenance of its Vernacare macerator units at Nottingham City Hospital (The Services). The Services will include, but are not limited to, a minimum of 1 maintenance visit per annum, 24/7 call out support and guaranteed next day call out for reactive maintenance. Installation shall be required on an ad-hoc basis e.g. lifecycle replacements. The responses to the Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise carried out in November/December 2025 revealed that materials (e.g. parts, spares etc) for the Authority's macerators are only available from Vernacare. The Authority considered options such as purchasing materials and services separately, however, this would require the Authority to purchase materials (e.g. parts, spares) upfront to enable a supplier to provide the Services. Due to constraints (e.g. Budget and storage availability), the Authority does not have the appetite to purchase and store the volume of materials required to enable a supplier to effectively provide the Services. Therefore, the Authority wishes to contract for provision of Services, including materials, under a single agreement. Based on the above, the Authority is considering awarding a contract to Vernacare in accordance with part 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 (Direct award in Special Cases) based on the grounds due to an absence of competition for technical reasons. only a particular supplier can supply the services required (Namely provision of Services including materials) and there are no reasonable alternatives to those services, i.e.: The Authority would be required to: - Purchase and store materials upfront, or - Replace all existing Vernacare macerator units with an alternative. It is envisaged this notice will inform any interested Suppliers of the planned procurement exercise and the Authority's chosen procurement route.

The objective is to establish a refreshed baseline identifying unpalatable risk across the estate to align with the objectives and targets of the Authority's relevant strategies and to inform an action plan for any remediation that may be required. The Services shall include the six facet surveys and gathering of relevant data in accordance with applicable industry standards whilst ensuring consistency of results between the various surveys required. The Services shall enable the Authority to determine the condition and risk for each facet element and allocate condition categories to its Premises and Locations on a “per facet” basis. Together with a summary of remedial works required, photos of non-compliant areas and estimated costs to bring each facet to a safe and acceptable condition, the six facet survey shall assist the Authority in prioritising budget allocation to the relevant critical areas.

The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Trust) is conducting this request for information (RFI) exercise regarding the provision of a contract for both planned testing servicing and maintenance, as well as any reactive servicing, of the nurse call systems. The purpose of the contract is to enable the Trust to meet its needs as a provider of healthcare services. For example, enabling ward staff to respond quickly in event of a signal from patients for support or assistance. Further information, including a supplier questionnaire, can be obtained via the Trust's e-tendering portal: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome If you have any problems with the Electronic Portal., you should contact the helpdesk on 0800 9956035 or by sending an email to support-health@atamis.co.uk . The helpline is open Monday to Friday between 8 am and 6 pm excluding public and bank holidays. The primary remit of NHS organisations with regard to nurse call systems is the safety of patients. For all premises under its control, it is therefore critical that the Trust's nurse call systems are effectively serviced and maintained. Whilst it is not a legal requirement to service nurse call systems, it is understood they must be regularly maintained to ensure continued functionality. Without regular maintenance, the system can fail when needed, risking patients' lives. In addition, lack of maintenance can result in false alarms, leading to staff becoming desensitised to the system and the associated risk they may ignore it when a real emergency occurs. The Trust's objectives are to maintain a high level of reliability and availability of its systems by operating a system of planned preventative maintenance, with response to call outs and call backs/breakdowns maintained at agreed performance levels, whilst ensuring value for money. 1. The systems currently in situ at the Nottingham City Hospital consist primarily of Static Systems 2. The systems currently in situ at the queens Medical Centre consist of a mixture of Wandsworth, Ipin and Static Systems
