Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured annual service and support for two Siemens 3T MRI scanners: the Magnetom Prisma and Magnetom Aera. This is a specialist repair and maintenance service for medical imaging equipment, intended to keep the scanners supported and operational. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The requirement falls within services rather than goods or construction works, and is focused on the maintenance and support of Siemens MRI systems rather than the supply of new scanning equipment. It is relevant to specialist medical imaging equipment manufacturers, authorised service providers and businesses with technical teams experienced in maintaining Siemens 3T MRI technology.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Siemens Healthcare Limited on 17 July 2026. The award value is £221,839. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2027. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 26 July 2026 at 5pm. The award is active and covers the full annual service and support requirement for the Magnetom Prisma and Magnetom Aera scanners. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £221,839. This was a single service requirement, with no separate lots identified. UKRI recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

This award demonstrates established demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist support of Siemens 3T MRI equipment. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in servicing Magnetom Prisma and Aera systems, including the technical expertise to maintain high-value clinical imaging equipment and minimise disruption to research or diagnostic activity. The requirement is best suited to an original equipment manufacturer, an authorised Siemens healthcare service organisation, or a larger specialist provider with suitably qualified engineers, access to genuine parts and established response and maintenance arrangements. Experience supporting 3T MRI systems, strong quality and safety controls, and the operational capacity to provide reliable annual coverage would be important differentiators when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
