Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for the maintenance and repair of Karcher cleaning machines. This contract covers a 12-month period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 and was completed through a direct, below-threshold procurement method without competition. The award involves the goods industry category, specifically floor-maintenance machines, with Karcher as the sole supplier. The finalised contract was signed on 26th March 2025, with the procurement now at the award stage and the contract valued at £128,088 in gross amount. The process is not part of any framework agreement and is planned to start a three-year contract from September 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and maintenance of cleaning equipment. Companies like Karcher, with expertise in floor-maintenance machines, would be particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly for equipment used in hospital environments, could also benefit significantly by engaging in this procurement opportunity. The simplified procurement process used in this instance is conducive for businesses seeking to expand their footprint in the healthcare sector without navigating the complexities of a framework agreement.
