Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured services to maintain Hillrom beds, with the purpose of protecting patient safety and maintaining continuity of hospital services. The requirement is a medical equipment repair and maintenance service, covering beds rather than the supply of new equipment. Work is associated with the Trust’s healthcare operations and delivery in the United Kingdom. The Trust is the buying organisation. The requirement may suit small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a supplier does not necessarily need to be a large corporate provider to be considered suitable. The service is focused on the maintenance of a defined medical equipment type, so relevant capability in hospital bed servicing is central to its commercial relevance.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 31 March 2026. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust awarded the contract to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited on 14 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £48,156.17 including the stated currency, GBP. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route. The award is active, and the recorded contract period matches the period stated for the requirement. There was one awarded supplier and one defined medical equipment maintenance requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award shows a defined NHS demand for specialist maintenance of Hillrom beds, with patient safety and service continuity as the operational purpose. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust would need practical expertise in inspecting, repairing and maintaining Hillrom beds in a healthcare environment, with the capacity to support reliable service delivery across the contract’s scale. Experience of working around clinical operations, responding consistently to maintenance needs and demonstrating safe, dependable equipment performance would strengthen its position. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so specialist medical-equipment maintenance firms may be relevant competitors alongside larger providers.
