Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for an annual preventive maintenance service contract with Thermo Fisher Scientific Ltd. This contract involves the maintenance of Thermo Fisher GC-MS medical and surgical equipment under the CPV code '50420000', covering repair and maintenance services. Located in Birmingham, the Trust serves as the buying organisation in this procurement, which falls within the 'services' category. The procurement was conducted directly, bypassing competition due to its below-threshold value, allowing more streamlined processes. The contract period begins on 23rd April 2026 and runs until 22nd April 2027, with a gross amount of £13,752.16. The legal basis for this procurement is under UK legislation '2023/54'.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment maintenance and services, particularly those offering high-quality preventive maintenance solutions. An SME with expertise in medical and surgical equipment may find similar opportunities with NHS trusts looking to ensure their apparatus remains in peak operating condition. Engaging in such contracts allows businesses to build a reputation in the healthcare industry, fostering growth and expanding their market reach. As the process was below the competition threshold, smaller businesses or those with existing relationships with the Trust might be particularly well-suited to similar procurement opportunities in the future.
