Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust involved the award of a contract for the renewal of the service contract for the Benchmark Ultra stainer, categorised under repair and maintenance services. Situated in Northampton, the trust operates under Central Government authority classification. The procurement stage is complete, denoted by both the award and contract tags, with the contract signed on 30 January 2025 and active until 31 January 2026. The procurement method was direct, below threshold, and executed without competition, reflecting a streamlined and targeted approach for this specific service need.

This procurement opportunity presents potential growth for businesses within the maintenance and repair services industry, particularly those capable of providing expert maintenance for medical staining equipment.

Such contracts might serve as a reliable income stream, contributing to business stability and enhancing credibility within this sector. Businesses with expertise in healthcare technology maintenance, especially those familiar with equipment used in hospitals, would be well poised to compete in similar future opportunities.
