Total Clean Air secures major public sector procurement framework
Somerset-based cleanroom and contamination control specialist Total Clean Air (TCA) has secured approved supplier status onto multiple public sector procurement frameworks worth £830 million, creating a streamlined route for organisations across the UK to access its specialist engineering, cleanroom and contamination control expertise.
The appointments, operated by the Everything Estates frameworks, provide organisations in sectors including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, education, defence, policing and research with a simplified and compliant route to procuring TCA’s services without the need for a full tender exercise each time. It also allows customers to select a new supplier through an efficient mini competition process. Everything Estates blends critical public sector compliance and social value together with pace and commercialism.
As part of the UK-wide framework, public sector organisations can access TCA’s specialist engineering expertise and cleanroom solutions for controlled and regulated environments through a pre-approved procurement route.
TCA’s framework positions, confirmed through formal award notification and scoring outcomes, cover:
- Construction & Infrastructure
- Building Works, Installations, Repairs & Improvements
- Modular Buildings
- Project Management & Construction Consultancy
- Hard Facilities Management Services.
The appointments form part of TCA’s continued growth strategy as the company expands its cleanroom, engineering and contamination control services across the UK.
Phillip Godden, CEO of Total Clean Air, said: “Gaining these framework awards make it easier for public sector organisations to access our specialist cleanroom, engineering and contamination control expertise through a compliant procurement route. We see significant opportunities to support organisations operating in highly regulated environments where quality, compliance and technical assurance are critical.
“The appointments strengthen TCA’s position as a specialist provider of compliant critical environments, HVAC systems, modular infrastructure and hard facilities management services across the UK.”
Public sector organisations can appoint TCA quickly and compliantly via direct award or mini-competition. This new route to purchasing, established by Hornchurch Academy Trust and operated by Place Group Limited, cements TCA’s position as a comprehensive controlled environment solutions partner offering proactive delivery, support and consultancy across the full project life cycle.
“Quite simply, Everything Estates gives control to our clients by allowing customers to obtain the best value for money based upon their requirements and not those that are pre-determined by the framework operator. It removes unnecessary bureaucracy and creates a time efficient route for procurement, which delivers enhanced ROI for all parties,” comments Claire Delaney, Managing Director, Everything Estates.
Assessment feedback highlighted successful demonstration of TCA’s strong technical capability and delivery expertise. It highlighted the company’s ability to deliver complex, high-specification hard FM services in specialist environments, alongside proven modular and GMP-compliant construction capability, supporting programme efficiency and operational continuity.
Godden added: “Our approved supplier status with Everything Estates provides a strong platform for TCA to develop long-term partnerships with organisations operating in regulated environments. They can access our specialist engineering expertise, technical and regulatory knowledge across the full project lifecycle, from consultancy and design through to installation, validation and ongoing support.”
The appointments align with TCA’s focus on delivering full lifecycle-controlled environments for organisations operating in highly regulated sectors where compliance, technical assurance and long-term operational performance are key. The company’s expertise spans HVAC systems, cleanrooms, modular infrastructure and specialist facilities management, underpinned by consultancy capability and regulatory understanding.
TCA’s cleanrooms are built in Britain and validated to the highest global standards. Credentials include work with defence clients in security-cleared and sensitive infrastructure environments; in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, meeting compliance with GMP and MHRA; in university cleanrooms where ISO-classification is essential; and in police and science departments, supporting critical forensic and analytical processes.
