- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
AGH Solutions Ltd requires the urgent replacement of compressors within the Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) serving the modular Intensive Care Unit (ICU) facility. The ASHPs provide critical heating and environmental support to accommodation
occupied by critically ill patients.
The modular ICU facility and its Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) were commissioned approximately five years ago and should not yet have reached the end of their expected operational life. However, a specialist engineering assessment has confirmed significant compressor failures requiring replacement to maintain system resilience and functionality.
The premature failure of these components is currently being investigated with the original building constructor and associated parties to establish the underlying cause and determine any
contractual or warranty implications. Notwithstanding these ongoing discussions, the Trust must take immediate action to ensure continuity of critical care services and cannot delay replacement whilst liability and remedial responsibilities are being determined.
Replacement compressors are subject to an estimated lead time of 8-10 weeks. Any delay in placing an order would materially increase the risk of component failure during the winter period, potentially affecting the environmental resilience of accommodation used to support critically ill patients.
Total amount: £133,759.00 excluding VAT
