This tender falls under the industry category of "Repair and maintenance services of medical and surgical equipment" (CPV code: 50420000). The procurement method used was a direct single tender action, as the contract was awarded to Echosens UK Limited. The contract is valued at £32,670 and will cover the period from 25th November 2025 to 24th November 2030.
