Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset County Hospital bought specialist maintenance services for an MRI scanner. The requirement covers ongoing servicing and maintenance of the scanner, supplied through the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) via the NHS Supply Chain and Healthcare Services (NHSSC) framework, Lot 11. The work is classified as repair and maintenance services and is delivered for the hospital in Dorchester, Dorset. This is a healthcare equipment maintenance requirement rather than general building maintenance. It is relevant to organisations that maintain MRI scanners, provide OEM-authorised technical support, or deliver equivalent specialist imaging-equipment servicing under an appropriate NHS framework arrangement. The buyer is Dorset County Hospital, based at Williams Avenue, Dorchester, DT1 2JY.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 10 August 2026. Dorset County Hospital used a selective procedure as a call-off from the NHSSC framework, reference 2015/S222-404840, Lot 11. The tender submission deadline was 8 August 2026 at 12:00. Siemens Healthcare Limited, trading as Siemens Healthineers, was awarded the contract for £287,090 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 9 August 2026 to 8 August 2030. The award is recorded as active. The procurement was treated as a services contract and was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate lots are recorded.

This award demonstrates sustained hospital demand for specialist MRI scanner maintenance delivered through an NHS framework and supported by the equipment manufacturer. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven expertise in MRI scanner servicing, fault diagnosis, preventative maintenance, safety testing and repairs, with access to manufacturer-approved parts, software and technical support where required. Familiarity with NHS clinical environments, healthcare equipment compliance, service continuity and rapid response arrangements would strengthen its position. The route to market is also important: suppliers would need to understand the relevant NHS Supply Chain and Healthcare Services framework and meet its technical, commercial and assurance requirements. The successful supplier is a large OEM-linked healthcare technology business, indicating that specialist capability, manufacturer access and organisational capacity are central to this requirement.
