UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust focused on securing a maintenance contract for paratherms and heater/coolers. The specific procedure was facilitated by the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, which plays a vital role as the procuring entity through the Birmingham and Solihull (BSOL) Procurement Collaborative. This contract, classified within the services industry category, was awarded to Chalice Medical Ltd, based in Nottinghamshire. Designed as a direct procurement method below the competition threshold, it avoided a competitive process, aligning with its legal basis under UK legislation. The contract was signed on 2nd April 2025 and commenced on 3rd April 2025, running until 29th October 2026 in Birmingham, United Kingdom, with an active status as of 28th October 2025.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in medical equipment maintenance services. Companies with expertise in maintaining paratherms and heater/coolers can greatly benefit from exploring similar procurement pathways. The fact that the procurement method bypassed competitive bidding might favour businesses that have established relationships or specialized capabilities that align with the specific needs of public health institutions.
