Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was carried out by the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, located at Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln, United Kingdom. The awarded contract involves the maintenance of BK5000 ultrasound systems used in Brachytherapy, Colorectal, and Urology, specifically catering to BK Medical products as acquired by GE Healthcare. The procurement, labelled as "Maintenance - BK5000 Ultrasound Brachytherapy, Colorectal, Urology," falls under the services category for the repair and maintenance of medical equipment. This procurement was executed through a direct method, classified as 'below threshold - without competition,' and is currently in the 'Award' stage, with the contract period spanning from 5th September 2025 to 4th September 2026. The contract, valued at £24,264 gross (£20,220 net), was signed on 5th September 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth for companies specialising in medical equipment maintenance services, particularly those capable of servicing ultrasound systems. Large enterprises and SMEs capable of providing repair and maintenance services for sophisticated medical and surgical equipment would find such opportunities viable. While GE Medical Systems Limited, a recognised large-scale supplier, won the contract, this indicates the presence of opportunities for other businesses to engage in similar contracts in the healthcare sector, particularly under direct procurement frameworks where competition may be limited. Such environments can offer smaller firms opportunities to build relationships, gain experience, and potentially expand into broader procurement opportunities within the NHS and beyond.
