Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was led by the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, focusing on maintenance services for washer disinfectors in Worthing. This contract falls under the services industry category and encompasses repair and maintenance services of catering equipment. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract officially awarded on 13th July 2026 and signed earlier on 1st July 2026, covering a period until 30th June 2027. The procurement was executed through a direct method, below the threshold without competition, indicating it was conducted without a public tender call. The supplier Steris Solutions Limited, a large entity based in Leicester, was appointed for this contract.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those with capabilities regarding hospital and catering equipment. Large, established companies might find contracts like these a reliable source of revenue due to the ongoing maintenance needs in healthcare facilities. Although this specific contract did not require a competitive tender process, similar future opportunities for engagement with public authorities like University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust may arise, offering substantial contracts within the healthcare segment. Thus, businesses with relevant expertise and a strategic interest in the public healthcare sector should stay alert to such opportunities to capitalise on potential partnerships and growth.
