Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for a Siemens Cios Flow system used in its pain clinic. The requirement covers the upkeep of this medical imaging and surgical equipment, rather than the supply of a new system or wider clinical services. It falls within repair and maintenance services for medical and surgical equipment, with services delivered at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk. The buying organisation is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. This opportunity is relevant to businesses that maintain Siemens Cios Flow equipment or provide specialist servicing for medical imaging and surgical equipment in NHS clinical environments, particularly pain-management settings.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 28 July 2026. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with award based on the framework route. The contract was awarded to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited for GBP 69,779.82. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The original tender value was also GBP 69,779.82. The process had a submission deadline of 21 August 2026 at 12:00. This was a single services requirement for maintenance of the Siemens Cios Flow equipment. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

This procurement demonstrates established NHS demand for planned or responsive maintenance of Siemens Cios Flow equipment in a specialist clinical setting. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would need demonstrable competence in servicing this equipment, understanding of medical imaging and surgical equipment maintenance, and the capacity to support safe operation within an NHS hospital. Experience of working in pain clinics or comparable clinical environments would help establish credibility, as would the ability to meet NHS operational, compliance and service-management expectations. The route also shows the commercial importance of framework access and NHS Supply Chain relationships. Larger specialist providers, or firms able to work through an eligible framework partner, are likely to be better positioned than smaller independent suppliers.
