Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust bought maintenance services for 250 mattresses and 250 mattress systems, classified as maintenance of medical and surgical equipment (CPV 50420000). The equipment is associated with the Trust’s SMH project. Delivery is in London, including the N18 1QX postcode area. The requirement is for servicing and maintenance of a substantial set of hospital mattress equipment, rather than the supply of mattresses or systems.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Direct Healthcare Group Limited. The award was dated 1 September 2026 and is valued at £58,992. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The original estimated value was £49,160. The Trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated scope covered 250 mattresses and 250 systems. The procurement was classified as a service, and the published suitability settings excluded SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award information identifies one successful supplier; no evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement data.

This award demonstrates demand at Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust for maintenance of a sizeable group of mattresses and mattress systems used in a hospital setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the capability and operational capacity to service and maintain both mattresses and associated systems at scale, with the ability to deliver work in London. The route used was a call-off from a framework, so relevant framework access would be important to competing through the same route. The contract was awarded to a large supplier, and the stated suitability settings excluded SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers focused solely on mattress sales, without maintenance capability, are less closely aligned with this demonstrated requirement.
