Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured a trust-wide service and maintenance contract for dishwashers. The requirement covers maintaining and servicing dishwasher equipment used across the Trust’s facilities, with the buyer based at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex. The procurement is classified as repair and maintenance services for medical and surgical equipment (CPV 50420000), although the specific equipment requirement is dishwashers. This is a specialist equipment-maintenance service rather than a supply or installation contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement are commercial dishwasher service providers with the technical capability to support equipment across an NHS foundation trust’s estate and to deliver consistent maintenance through a public-sector framework arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust selected Hobart (UK) Ltd on 14 August 2026. The awarded value is £94,541, and the contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2027. The requirement was placed through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The original tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was evaluated as a services procurement, with the recorded suitability assessment indicating that it was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and the contract period is one year.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established NHS demand for a dedicated dishwasher servicing and maintenance arrangement at trust-wide scale. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in commercial dishwasher maintenance, fault diagnosis, repairs and planned servicing, with sufficient operational capacity to support multiple healthcare sites and maintain reliable equipment performance. Experience of working in healthcare or similarly demanding institutional environments would help demonstrate an understanding of continuity, hygiene, safety and response requirements, although the published process does not identify particular accreditations or technical qualifications. Suppliers would also need to understand framework call-off procedures and be able to compete through that route when this buyer’s requirement returns to the market.
