Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured services to maintain its 3DIMENSIONS mammography system. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of X-ray imaging equipment, delivered for the Trust’s services in Worthing and the wider Sussex area. It is a specialist imaging-equipment maintenance requirement rather than a purchase of new equipment. The service is intended to keep the named mammography system operational after its warranty period, using the original equipment manufacturer’s expertise. The procurement is classified as a service and concerns one completed lot. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers and specialist providers of mammography, X-ray and related diagnostic imaging equipment maintenance, particularly those able to support NHS-owned systems in clinical settings.

This procurement has been awarded following a direct award to HOLOGIC LTD, justified as post-warranty maintenance with the original equipment manufacturer for a further nine years. The award date was 2 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 30 March 2026. The active contract runs from 25 November 2026 to 24 November 2035. Its value is £205,485.75 excluding VAT and £246,582.90 including VAT. A related award record gives the service period as 26 November 2026 to 25 November 2035. The award and contract cover one lot. The contract is above the relevant threshold. The procurement used a direct-award route rather than an open competition, with the OEM relationship forming the stated basis for the decision.

For a supplier assessing comparable NHS demand, this requirement demonstrates a long-term need for dependable maintenance of installed mammography and X-ray systems after warranty expiry. A credible competitor would need demonstrable original-equipment or equivalent technical expertise, access to manufacturer-approved parts and diagnostic tools, and the ability to maintain a specialist 3DIMENSIONS mammography system safely in a clinical environment. Experience supporting diagnostic imaging equipment in NHS or other regulated healthcare settings would strengthen its position, alongside robust response arrangements, planned preventative maintenance, fault repair and service continuity over a multi-year period. The scale indicates a substantial, sustained service commitment rather than occasional call-outs, so suppliers would need sufficient qualified engineering capacity, nationwide or regional coverage for Sussex, and the financial and organisational resilience to support a long contract.
