Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for its Steelco TW3000 washers. The requirement is for servicing and maintenance of this medical equipment, rather than the purchase of new washers. Delivery is associated with BN11 2DH in Worthing, England. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust; the awarded supplier is iM-MED Limited. This is a specialised medical-equipment maintenance requirement, relevant to businesses that service and support Steelco TW3000 washers or can demonstrate suitable expertise in maintaining equivalent equipment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to iM-MED Limited. The award was made on 9 October 2026, at a value of £36,891.04. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. The trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated tender value was also £36,891.04. The procurement was for services and was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No individual lot structure or evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement information.

This award demonstrates demand from University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust for ongoing maintenance of Steelco TW3000 washers used in a healthcare setting. The selected supplier was iM-MED Limited, an SME, showing that a specialist provider can deliver this type of service at a relatively focused scale, although the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs. Competitors seeking similar work from the trust would need credible capability to maintain this specific washer model, or equivalent equipment, and to support reliable operation in a healthcare environment. The route used was a call-off from a framework agreement, so familiarity with relevant framework arrangements would be important to competing for a comparable requirement. The work is specialist equipment maintenance, not general facilities servicing.
