Summary of the contracting process

The North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for a service contract concerning the repair and maintenance of the Pharmacy Robot ARX Tandem VMAX System. This contract falls under the industry category of medical and surgical equipment services, with BECTON DICKINSON UK LTD being awarded as the supplier. The procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically under the Countess of Chester F063 Total Inventory Management Systems, and the award was made on 19 May 2026. The contract is valued at £47,351.84 and spans from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. Based in Peterborough, England, the buying organisation completed this process during the award stage, with the procurement formally recognised on 16 July 2026.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services of medical equipment, particularly those with experience in handling sophisticated devices like pharmacy robots. Although not specifically aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, larger companies with a strong track record in healthcare services and the necessary technical expertise might be particularly well-suited to participate in similar procurements. Companies interested in expanding their footprint in the healthcare sector can leverage such opportunities to establish or strengthen partnerships with NHS Trusts and diversify their service offerings in medical technologies.
