Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist maintenance services for its nuclear medicine equipment. The requirement covers the repair and ongoing maintenance of medical and surgical equipment used in nuclear medicine. Delivery is associated with West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, serving the Trust’s equipment needs in the United Kingdom. This is a healthcare engineering and equipment-support opportunity rather than the supply of new medical devices. Businesses relevant to this requirement are providers of nuclear medicine equipment maintenance, servicing and repair, particularly those able to support equipment operating within an NHS hospital environment and maintain continuity of clinical services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Ashby, Gorman Baker Ltd was selected on 21 July 2026 for £198,550 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2031. The tender deadline was 4 August 2026 at 12:00. West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, for these services. The procurement was classified as services for repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment. The award is recorded as active, with the awarded supplier responsible for the requirement. The opportunity was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a substantial, long-term requirement from West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust for specialist maintenance of nuclear medicine equipment. A credible competitor for the same type of requirement would need demonstrable technical capability in servicing and repairing nuclear medicine systems, with the operational discipline to support equipment in a hospital setting over an extended service engagement. Relevant experience should include maintaining complex medical and surgical equipment, responding reliably to faults, and helping the Trust keep clinical equipment safe, available and compliant with its operational needs. The use of a framework call-off also makes framework access and the ability to compete through that route commercially important. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that specialist smaller firms can meet the requirement.
