Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the "Maintenance of Hamilton Medical Ventilators and Humidifiers," focusing on ongoing Planned Preventive Maintenance and repairs for various models of Hamilton Medical equipment. This procurement, conducted through a direct award process, was necessitated due to a lack of market competition. The procurement belongs to the services category, specifically within the repair and maintenance services of medical equipment. The contract, valued at £418,476 gross and scheduled from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2031, has been awarded to Hamilton Medical UK Ltd, based in Sutton Coldfield. The planning stage initiated in January 2026, involved the publication of a preliminary market engagement notice, with stages proceeding through tender and award by May 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in the maintenance and repair of medical equipment. Companies with expertise in servicing ventilators and humidifiers are well-suited to deliver on such contracts, given the improvement and adaptation requirements of aging medical assets. Furthermore, the direct procurement method indicates potential for longstanding partnerships with health organisations. Firms investing in deep technical knowledge and customer service excellence can leverage these contracts to expand their market presence and demonstrate their capability in managing critical health equipment maintenance.
