Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured platinum maintenance cover for an Aplio i700 radiology system. The requirement is a specialist repair and maintenance service for medical and surgical equipment, covering the continued maintenance of this ultrasound imaging equipment. Delivery is at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The buying organisation is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, with the service supporting its radiology provision. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The requirement is focused on maintaining one identified Aplio i700 system, so relevant businesses are those able to provide manufacturer-level or equivalent technical support for this equipment and maintain reliable clinical operation in an NHS hospital environment.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The contract was awarded to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited on 24 July 2026. The awarded value is £21,974.62 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 28 July 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award covers the full maintenance requirement for the Aplio i700 radiology equipment.

This award demonstrates an NHS requirement for planned, specialist maintenance of Aplio i700 radiology equipment through an established framework route. A competitor seeking similar work with this buyer would need credible capability in medical imaging equipment maintenance, including the technical knowledge, engineering resources and response arrangements needed to keep an ultrasound system operational in a hospital setting. Experience supporting radiology departments and working within NHS service, safety and documentation expectations would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also be able to deliver a defined platinum-level maintenance service for the specific equipment, manage planned and reactive support, and operate at a scale suitable for a large healthcare procurement framework. The buyer’s recorded suitability assessment indicates that this requirement is not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs.
