Fullwell Cross Medical Centre heat-pump installation reaches contract award
Public estates · England
By Net Zero News · Published 18th October 2026
NHS Property Services has published an award notice for an air-source heat-pump installation at Fullwell Cross Medical Centre. The works replace gas heating with an electric air-to-water system and associated distribution improvements.
Project status: Award notice published
What changed
The notice names W. S. Swift Services as the supplier. The project is an example of heat decarbonisation extending beyond hospitals into community healthcare premises. Publication of the award confirms the procurement outcome; it does not show that installation and commissioning have finished. Measured operational carbon and bill savings have not been established by the award notice.
Key project takeaways
Consider heating distribution and other enabling works within the scope of a medical-centre conversion.
Plan service continuity and commissioning carefully where premises remain in clinical use.
Why this matters
Community healthcare buildings are part of the NHS heat-decarbonisation challenge. Estates teams planning similar work should assess heating distribution, service continuity and commissioning requirements. The award notice confirms procurement, with operational results still to follow.
