Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for a C-Arm OEC One medical imaging system. This is a specialist service covering the repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment, classified under CPV 50420000. The buying organisation is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based at Withington, Manchester. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site in Manchester, at M20 4BX, in the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within the services category and concerns ongoing technical support for a named piece of clinical equipment rather than the supply of new equipment. Businesses active in medical equipment servicing, particularly those able to support C-arm imaging systems, are the closest fit for this requirement and buyer.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to GE Healthcare Limited on 27 June 2026 for £58,013.40, with a contract period from 27 June 2026 to 26 June 2031. The tender submission deadline was 31 May 2026 at 12:00. It was a selective procurement carried out as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The requirement was evaluated within that framework call-off route. The award covers the full maintenance service for the C-Arm OEC One equipment. The selected supplier is GE Healthcare Limited, a large organisation. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for long-term maintenance of a C-Arm OEC One system at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust. A credible future competitor would need specialist capability in servicing medical and surgical equipment, with practical knowledge of C-arm imaging technology and the ability to maintain equipment used in a clinical environment. Because the buyer used a framework call-off, relevant suppliers would also need access to an appropriate framework route and the capacity to deliver its contractual processes. The contract’s multi-year scale indicates a need for dependable continuity, planned maintenance and responsive technical support over an extended service relationship. The buyer’s assessment that the requirement was unsuitable for SMEs suggests that organisational capacity and established equipment support capability are important competitive factors.
