UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust has engaged in a procurement process for the maintenance of an Automated Digital Radiography (DR) imaging system. This contract, under the category of medical and surgical equipment maintenance services, was awarded directly to Medical Imaging Systems Limited, the original equipment manufacturer, through a direct award method. Such direct procurement was justified due to technical reasons necessitating continuity with the existing supplier. The contract was concluded on 27 April 2026 and is scheduled to commence on 29 April 2026, running until 19 April 2031. The procurement process, which includes routine servicing and maintenance, represents significant cost savings and falls within a closed framework agreement. It is situated at Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester, UK.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in medical equipment services. Businesses with expertise in repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment will find this contract appealing, given the five-year duration and direct negotiation route, which can provide stability and potential for continuous engagement with public authorities. As the procurement involves routine servicing, companies familiar with working as previous suppliers in similar settings will be well-suited to compete effectively.
