Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process titled "Physidia Machines Technical Maintenance Contract," focusing on the health services industry. This contract pertains to the maintenance of fourteen Physidia S3 dialysis machines at the Sussex Kidney Unit, Royal Sussex County Hospital, and involves services like home haemodialysis. Located in Worthing, United Kingdom, the procurement adopted a direct method below the threshold without competition, culminating in an award on 1st April 2026. The procurement was categorised under repair and maintenance services of medical equipment, with the contract running from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, valued at £42,000 gross (£35,000 net).
