Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) for the "UKRI-6208 Annual Service and Support for MRI Magnetom Prisma & Aera" contract. This contract, worth £221,839, falls under the "Repair and maintenance services" industry category and involves the provision of services across various locations, including the United Kingdom, Europe, and British Oversea Territories. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. This process has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to Siemens Healthcare Limited on 17th July 2026, and the service period will run from 24th August 2026 to 23rd August 2027.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in the maintenance and repair of MRI technology, particularly those familiar with Siemens' Magnetom Prisma and Aera models. Although the procurement process was selective, meaning it was not open to all businesses, there is potential for future contracts where similar skill sets will be valuable. Companies that align with the requirements and have a strong background in healthcare equipment maintenance may find strategic opportunities through framework agreements and related services with UKRI, benefiting from ongoing public sector engagement and network expansion.
