Summary of the contracting process

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist maintenance and servicing for a Sterrad sterilisation system. The requirement falls within medical equipment repair and maintenance services and is classified under CPV 50421000. The work is for the Trust’s healthcare operations in the North East of England. The named buyer is County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, based in Peterlee. The service is categorised as a contract for services and concerns the maintenance, repair and calibration of medical equipment under the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework. The requirement is specific to the Sterrad system rather than general facilities management or broad hospital equipment support.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust awarded the contract to Advanced Sterilization Products (UK) Limited on 30 July 2026. The awarded value is £72,888.04. The contract runs from 7 August 2026 to 6 August 2029, for 36 months, with no extensions. The procurement used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, without competition, through the NHS Supply Chain Maintenance, Repair and Calibration of Medical Equipment Framework. The tender submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at 12:00. The outcome reflects a direct framework call-off rather than a separately competed open tender, with the requirement awarded as a single service package.

This award indicates a defined NHS requirement for specialist support of Sterrad sterilisation equipment, including maintenance, repair and calibration. A credible future competitor would need proven technical capability with Sterrad systems and the capacity to provide dependable medical equipment servicing for a healthcare trust over a multi-year period. Experience of working in clinical environments, maintaining equipment used in sterilisation processes, and meeting relevant NHS operational, safety and service requirements would strengthen a supplier’s position. Access to, or eligibility for, the applicable NHS Supply Chain framework is also commercially important because this buyer used a framework call-off without competition. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that specialist smaller businesses can meet this type of requirement.
