Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured specialist maintenance services for its Surface Guided Radiotherapy System. The requirement covers post-warranty, point-of-sale maintenance of radiotherapy equipment, classified as repair and maintenance services for medical and surgical equipment (CPV 50420000). The system and associated maintenance are for the Trust’s site on Greetwell Road, Lincoln. The procurement was restricted to the original equipment manufacturer through an NHS Supply Chain framework for radiotherapy ancillary devices, including dosimetry, patient-positioning and quality-assurance devices. This is therefore a highly specialised medical-equipment support requirement rather than general facilities maintenance. The stated requirement describes a nine-year post-warranty maintenance arrangement, although the recorded contract period is shorter.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with a direct award through the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework. The award decision was made on 9 October 2025. Vision Rt Limited was selected for a contract valued at £215,631. The recorded contract period runs from 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026. The tender deadline was 1 August 2025 at 12:00. The opportunity was treated as a services contract and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated procurement route and OEM-only requirement indicate that competition was limited to an existing framework supplier able to provide the specified system maintenance.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS teaching trust for specialist support of Surface Guided Radiotherapy Systems, including post-warranty and point-of-sale maintenance. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need original-equipment-manufacturer capability for the relevant radiotherapy system, or an equivalent authorised specialist status where permitted by the framework. It would also need engineers with appropriate expertise in radiotherapy equipment maintenance, system reliability and patient-positioning technology, together with the capacity to support clinical equipment in a hospital environment. Experience covering dosimetry, quality assurance and related radiotherapy ancillary devices would strengthen a supplier’s position. Access to the applicable NHS Supply Chain framework, and the ability to meet its supplier and service requirements, would be commercially important for this buyer and route to market.
