Summary of the contracting process

The Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust has successfully completed a procurement process for the maintenance services of the M530 OHX microscope. Situated at the City Campus on Hucknall Road, Nottingham, this public authority falls under the central government category. The procurement, classified under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of medical and surgical equipment (CPV code 50420000), was conducted via direct award below threshold without competition. This contract was awarded to Leica Microsystems (UK) Limited, a large-scale supplier, and will be active from 27th February 2025 to 26th February 2030. The total value of the contract is £47,100, with a signed contract date of 27th February 2025. As of 26th June 2026, the contract is in an active award stage.

This tender opens up considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment maintenance and repair services, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality, sustained support without requiring competitive bid processes. Given that the procurement was completed through a direct award, businesses with established relationships or pre-existing frameworks with the NHS or similar public organisations would be well-placed to pursue similar contracts. It’s a promising landscape for companies focused on medical and surgical equipment, particularly those that can provide reliable maintenance solutions within challenging environments such as hospital settings.
