A Bishop Thornton firm has been accredited to work on NHS hospitals across the north of England.

Robinsons Facilities Services, which specialises in commercial heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical repairs and maintenance, won a competitive tender to join the NHS North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOE CPC) framework.

It will now supply, repair and service plumbing and heating systems across hospitals including Harrogate, Doncaster, Newcastle and more. It follows the firm's successful tender last summer to carry out repairs on heating, ventilation and air conditioning on premises owned and managed by Harrogate Borough Council.

Later in 2019, it was also chosen to carry out maintenance for the University of York. Robinsons Facilities Services director Katie Challis, pictured above, said:

“We actually tendered for this specific framework back in December, but the coronavirus pandemic delayed the review process, hence us only finding out now.
“To demonstrate our suitably we had to highlight our experience, skills, quality of work, social value and price. Being accepted on the NOE CPC is a massive boost for the businesses and builds on last year’s successes with Harrogate Borough Council and the University of York.”


Since launching seven years ago, Robinsons has expanded to cover routine and emergency maintenance and repairs to hundreds of commercial and public sites across Yorkshire, with a team of 17 staff.
