Summary of the contracting process

The Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the calibration and maintenance of four particle counters and related equipment. This tender falls under the services industry category and is specifically focused on the repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment. The process was carried out directly, below threshold, and without competition, resulting in a contract awarded to Pharmagraph Ltd, a large supplier based in Wokingham. The contract commences on 16th April 2026 and concludes on 15th April 2029, with a total value of £33,852. Key details such as the contract signing date on 16th April 2026 are part of this agreement which provides fixed pricing over the three-year period.

For businesses specializing in medical and surgical equipment services, this type of contract can provide steady, long-term engagement with public health institutions, allowing for predictable revenue streams. Companies with expertise in calibration and maintenance, particularly those familiar with Pharmagraph equipment, are especially well-positioned to compete for similar opportunities in this sector. The specific focus on long-term maintenance rather than hardware supply may also offer growth potential for service-oriented businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in the healthcare sector.
