Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured original-equipment-manufacturer maintenance and preventative servicing for Hamilton T1 ventilators. The work covers inspection, testing and calibration, applicable software updates, and the provision of parts and labour. It is medical equipment repair and maintenance, delivered for the Trust in Dorchester, Dorset. The requirement is specifically tied to Hamilton T1 ventilators and OEM servicing, rather than general medical equipment maintenance.

The procurement is complete and Hamilton Medical UK Ltd was selected for the contract. The Trust used a direct single-tender procedure below the applicable threshold. The award was made on 17 May 2026, and the contract runs from 17 May 2026 to 16 May 2029. The awarded value is £30,780. The original estimated procurement value was £25,650. The requirement was presented as a single package, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable; voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The published information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award confirms demand at Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for OEM servicing of Hamilton T1 ventilators, including planned preventative work, testing and calibration, software updates, parts and labour. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the capability to maintain this specific ventilator model to the manufacturer’s requirements and to deliver the full service package, rather than only general equipment repairs. The selection of Hamilton Medical UK Ltd through a single-tender route shows that the buyer chose the manufacturer-linked supplier for this requirement; suppliers seeking to compete when it returns to market would need to demonstrate equivalent OEM authority, technical expertise and the capacity to provide ongoing servicing and parts support.
