Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, involves the direct award of maintenance services for the Faxitron Specimen Radiography System to RPS Service Ltd. The procurement falls under the services category and adheres to the UK legislative framework. The contract, valued at £54,000, commenced on 31 December 2025 and is set to conclude on 31 December 2034. Conducted without competition as it is below the threshold, this process highlights the strategic selection made by the Birmingham NHS Trust to fulfil specific organisational needs.
