Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist maintenance services for its 3Dimensions Mammography System 3D INTL, including the Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System and Affirm Lateral Arm Upright Biopsy Accessory Kit. The requirement is intended to maintain operational reliability, support compliance with safety standards and minimise downtime affecting essential diagnostic services. This is a medical and surgical equipment repair and maintenance service, delivered at the Trust’s site in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The buying organisation is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, with NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited involved as the selected supplier. The requirement concerns ongoing technical support for specialised mammography and breast biopsy equipment rather than general facilities maintenance.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited on 7 August 2026. The award value is £198,260. The contract runs from 26 July 2026 to 25 July 2031. It was conducted as a selective procurement and awarded through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 25 July 2026 at 12:00. The active award covers the maintenance requirement for the complete specified mammography and biopsy system. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded award establishes the selected supplier, value and five-year service period for this Bradford NHS requirement.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award demonstrates a substantial, long-term NHS requirement for specialist maintenance of 3D mammography and breast biopsy guidance equipment. A credible competitor would need proven capability in servicing the named 3Dimensions Mammography System 3D INTL, including the Affirm guidance system and lateral-arm upright biopsy accessory, with the technical capacity to keep diagnostic equipment operational. Experience of maintaining medical and surgical equipment in environments where safety compliance and minimising downtime are critical would be important. Suppliers would also need to understand NHS procurement routes and be able to secure or participate in the relevant framework arrangements, as this requirement was placed through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender.
