Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned servicing and maintenance, including reactive repairs, for the Queens Medical Centre’s five Selectomat PL 969-1 H porous-load autoclaves and three MMM Duotherm II D12 clean steam generators. The equipment supports the decontamination of surgical instruments and medical devices: maintenance is intended to ensure the steam reaches the required temperature, pressure and saturation so that bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores are effectively eliminated and patient safety is protected. This is specialist medical equipment maintenance, rather than general building services. Delivery is at the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to MMM Medical Equipment UK Ltd. The award date was 31 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £30,000. The Trust used a selective call-off from Lot 14, Decontamination, of the NHS Supply Chain framework for maintenance, repair and calibration of medical equipment. The original submission deadline was 3 June 2026. The contract covers servicing, maintenance and reactive maintenance for the specified autoclaves and clean steam generators. The published information does not set out a separate evaluation breakdown; the award was made through the framework call-off route.

For suppliers considering similar future work for the Trust, this award demonstrates demand for specialist servicing and reactive maintenance of autoclaves and clean steam generators used in healthcare decontamination. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to maintain this equipment and preserve its performance against required steam temperature, pressure and saturation parameters, supporting reliable sterilisation of surgical instruments and medical devices. Experience with the specified equipment types, or demonstrable competence across comparable systems, would be relevant. The buyer used the NHS Supply Chain medical equipment maintenance, repair and calibration framework’s decontamination lot, so access to that framework route is commercially significant. The award went to a medical equipment supplier and the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that businesses of that scale may be relevant where they can meet the specialist service requirement.
