UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process orchestrated by University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, a public authority under central government, has progressed to the award and contract stage. This contract, titled "Maintenance; XEVO - Pathology Forensic Toxicology Lab - 25-A-2527," falls under the services category for medical equipment maintenance, specifically repair and maintenance services of medical and surgical equipment. Located in Leicester, United Kingdom, the project covers a 12-month period from 29 September 2025 to 28 September 2026. The chosen procurement method was 'limited' indicating a below-threshold limited competition process, and highlights an awarded value of £50,294.92. The contract was formally signed on 29 September 2025, with a discounted service package providing substantial savings on maintenance for specialised forensic toxicology lab equipment.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment maintenance, particularly those with expertise in servicing sophisticated scientific instruments. The limited procurement method suggests that smaller, perhaps niche suppliers with specialised knowledge of the equipment in question—such as small or medium enterprises—could find themselves well-positioned to compete for such contracts in the future. The discount offered within the contract suggests that buyers may value competitive pricing and specialist service packages, indicating a possible growth area for companies looking to enhance their presence in this sector.
