Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian issued a procurement process titled "Microscope Servicing" under OCID ocds-h6vhtk-0581c0, focusing on the repair and maintenance services of medical and precision equipment, specifically for the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary located in the UKM50 region. The procurement process, classified under CPV code 50400000, falls within the services category. This tender, with ID NCT019-25, concluded at the award stage, with a contract signed on 1st August 2025. This limited procurement process was justified by technical reasons, requiring the microscopes to be maintained with original equipment manufacturer parts, and therefore awarded directly to Leica Microsystems (UK) Ltd, a large-scale company. The contract amount totalled £127,170, aligning with NHS Grampian's need to maintain equipment integrity.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in medical equipment maintenance, particularly those able to supply and install genuine OEM parts. Such contracts typically benefit large-scale companies, capable of fulfilling stringent technical requirements and maintaining the quality standards stipulated by the health sector. Companies with expertise in precision and medical equipment servicing should consider similar opportunities to enhance their portfolios and establish robust relations within the public healthcare sector.
