In order to award this contract compliantly, NHSGGC will follow Regulation 33 (b) where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde intends to award a contract to GT Cleaning for the maintenance and servicing of the existing fleet of Tennant floor cleaning equipment located at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH).
GT Cleaning has been confirmed by Tennant as its sole recognised Authorised Partner for Scotland, with access to the relevant manufacturer support required to service and maintain Tennant equipment.

The proposed arrangement provides planned servicing together with the associated technical support, parts and consumables required to maintain the equipment and support its safe and effective operation.
No suitable framework has been identified for this requirement. Given the existing Tennant equipment and GT Cleaning Machines' status as Tennant's sole recognised Authorised Partner for Scotland, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde considers the proposed award appropriate in order to maintain continuity of manufacturer-authorised servicing and technical support for the existing equipment. The total contract value is 317,500 GBP excluding VAT over a period of 5 years.
