Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for a Mediscan HD Compact colposcope, a specialist medical device used in clinical examination. The requirement falls within repair and maintenance services for medical equipment and is classified under CPV 50421000. The service is associated with the Trust’s operations in Gloucestershire, with the delivery location recorded in the Gloucester area. This is a healthcare equipment maintenance requirement rather than a supply, construction or general facilities contract. Businesses with experience maintaining colposcopes, comparable diagnostic equipment or other specialist NHS clinical technology would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to support equipment users and maintain reliable clinical operation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 8 May 2026 to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited (NHSSC - SCCL) for £12,231. The contract runs from 9 May 2026 to 8 June 2029. The tender submission deadline was 8 May 2026 at 12:00. The procurement’s stated estimated minimum value was £12,231, while its published tender value was £0.01; the awarded value is £12,231. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. One supplier is recorded as awarded the requirement, with the contract covering the maintenance service for the Mediscan HD Compact colposcope.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist maintenance of a named colposcope over a multi-year service period. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable technical capability in colposcope servicing, fault diagnosis, preventative maintenance and repair of medical equipment, with the systems and manufacturer knowledge needed to protect clinical availability. Experience working in NHS or other healthcare environments would help establish understanding of clinical safety, infection-control expectations, documentation and service reporting. The route to market is also significant: suppliers would need access to the relevant framework or an equivalent compliant purchasing route, alongside sufficient field-service capacity to support the Trust’s equipment in Gloucestershire.
