Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a contracting process for a "Maintenance Contract," specifically focusing on histocore spectra repair and maintenance services. The procurement falls under the services category and is relevant to businesses operating within the maintenance and repair industry. Based in Cambridge, United Kingdom, the procurement was completed as of 17th February 2026, following the contract's signature on 15th February 2026. The contract’s period spans one year, ending on 16th February 2027, with a gross value of £32,823.16 and a net value of £27,352.64. The buyer is a public authority within central government, highlighting an opportunity for continued engagement in government contracting.

This contract offers substantial growth potential for companies specialising in maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in healthcare equipment. Large companies with the capacity to manage contracts below the threshold value are well-suited to compete, given the procurement method and scale involved. Leica Microsystems Ltd was awarded the contract, highlighting opportunities for similarly scaled businesses in the sector to consider partnerships and competitive bids in future tenders. The delivery and execution of such maintenance contracts can enhance a company's portfolio in the healthcare industry, driving expansion and increasing visibility within central government procurement activities.
