Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "CTA+ injector Empower" contract was conducted by the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Gloucester, United Kingdom. The tender focused on maintenance services for a CT injector, classified under the medical equipment repair and maintenance industry category. This process has already reached the award stage, with a contract signed on 8th May 2026 and services to commence from 9th May 2026, continuing until 8th May 2031. The procurement method adopted was direct, without competition, typical of below-threshold procurements.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in medical equipment services, particularly those able to offer repair and maintenance expertise. Bracco UK Limited, a small to medium enterprise (SME) based in Oxford, successfully secured the contract. Businesses with similar service offerings and capabilities might find parallel procurements appealing, as public healthcare institutions frequently require specialised maintenance services for medical equipment.
