This contract, valued at £50,633.34, falls under the industry category of "Imaging equipment for medical, dental and veterinary use" with an additional classification under "Radiotherapy devices and supplies". The service contract, which includes annual maintenance, parts supply, software updates, and on-demand engineering support, started on 1st March 2025 and will conclude on 28th February 2030. The awarded contract entered its "Award" stage as of 26th March 2025, with prior tendering processes completed by 25th February 2025. Services are to be performed at a specified location in SP11 8HT, United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment services. Companies that are approved by equipment manufacturers and those capable of providing comprehensive maintenance, spare parts management, and software support services are well-suited for such tenders. Large-scale service providers like GE Medical Systems Ltd., that can deliver both remote and on-site technical support, are particularly favoured. Firms looking to tap into government contracts, especially those within the defence and health research domains, may find similar opportunities lucrative for expanding their footprint and showcasing their expertise in high-stakes, technology-driven environments.
