Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought maintenance services for Siemens Somatom medical imaging equipment. The requirement falls within repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment and is a services contract. Delivery is associated with The Christie’s site on Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust providing specialist healthcare services. The selected supplier, Siemens Healthcare Limited trading as Siemens Healthineers, is the manufacturer’s healthcare business and is based in the UK. The requirement is therefore focused on maintaining Siemens Somatom equipment rather than supplying general medical equipment or undertaking broader facilities maintenance. Businesses active in medical imaging equipment support, particularly those with Siemens Somatom capability, would be the closest commercial match for this type of requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 15 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the contract was awarded on 15 February 2026. Siemens Healthcare Limited trading as Siemens Healthineers was selected for the contract, valued at £223,038.61. The contract runs from 16 February 2026 to 15 February 2029. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The published outcome records one supplier and one maintenance requirement covering the Siemens Somatom service. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award demonstrates a defined requirement from a specialist NHS trust for ongoing maintenance of Siemens Somatom medical imaging equipment. A credible competitor would need specialist engineering capability for Siemens Somatom systems, including the technical knowledge and service processes needed to maintain complex medical and surgical equipment in a clinical environment. It would also need sufficient operational capacity to provide dependable planned and responsive maintenance for a single healthcare buyer, with appropriate service coverage and access to suitably qualified engineers and parts. The use of a framework call-off shows that experience of relevant public-sector procurement routes and framework participation is commercially important. Larger specialist providers may be better placed than small or generalist firms to meet the expected scale and manufacturer-specific demands.
