Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured maintenance services for ultrasound systems and probes across its UHL facilities in Leicester. The requirement covers the repair and maintenance of medical equipment, including servicing and upkeep of ultrasound machines and their probes. It is a healthcare equipment maintenance opportunity delivered for an NHS trust, with work centred on Leicester and associated UHL sites. The buying organisation is University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, based at Leicester Royal Infirmary. This is a specialist medical equipment services requirement rather than a supply-only purchase, so relevant businesses are those able to maintain ultrasound equipment and support clinical operations across multiple healthcare locations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 30 September 2023 to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited, with an awarded value of £280,153.47. The contract period runs from 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 30 September 2023 at 12:00. The procurement is for services and was treated as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The award covers the complete maintenance requirement for ultrasound systems and probes across UHL; no separate lots or alternative awards are identified. The recorded tender value is also £280,153.47.

This procurement indicates sustained NHS demand for specialist maintenance of ultrasound systems and probes across a multi-site hospital trust. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in repairing and maintaining medical imaging equipment, particularly ultrasound platforms and probes, together with the operational capacity to support several healthcare locations. Experience of working in NHS or comparable clinical environments would help demonstrate an understanding of service continuity, equipment reliability and the consequences of downtime. Suppliers should also be able to operate through, or secure access to, the relevant framework route, since this requirement was awarded as a framework call-off. The scale suits an established medical equipment maintenance provider with sufficient engineering coverage and service coordination capacity.
