Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist servicing and maintenance for an ARX Tandem VMAX pharmacy robot system. The requirement falls within medical and surgical equipment repair and maintenance services, rather than the supply of general pharmacy equipment. Delivery is at the Trust’s site in Peterborough, England. The system is used in a pharmacy setting, so the work concerns maintaining a specific automated dispensing or pharmacy robotics installation. The named buyer is North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, based at Bretton Gate, Peterborough. Businesses relevant to this requirement are those able to support the ARX Tandem VMAX system and provide maintenance services for medical or pharmacy equipment in an NHS environment.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was a selective call-off from the Countess of Chester Total Inventory Management Systems framework, Lot 2, made by direct award under that framework. The award was made to BECTON DICKINSON UK LTD on 19 May 2026 for £47,351.84 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender submission deadline was 18 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with the award recorded as an active award. The opportunity was marked unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for ongoing support of an ARX Tandem VMAX pharmacy robot at North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust. A credible competitor for comparable work would need direct capability in servicing this system, or demonstrable technical expertise in automated pharmacy equipment and medical equipment maintenance. It would also need to operate effectively under a public-sector framework call-off route, understand the service expectations of an NHS foundation trust, and provide dependable support for a specialist installed asset. The buyer’s decision to use a framework and award the work to BECTON DICKINSON UK LTD indicates that relevant manufacturer or specialist system knowledge is commercially important for this requirement.
