UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured a 12-month servicing contract for CellSprint robotic harvesters. The requirement covers specialist engineering and contract administration services associated with maintaining these robotic laboratory or healthcare devices. The work is for the Trust in Birmingham, with procurement managed through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative hosted by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of new equipment, and is focused on keeping the existing CellSprint robotic harvesters supported during their operational use.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded without competition through a below-threshold direct award. Hiykon Consulting Engineers Ltd was selected as the supplier. The active contract was signed on 30 April 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £20,218 excluding VAT, or £24,261.60 including VAT. The procurement has one completed lot. The published classification describes the service as contract administration services, while the underlying requirement is servicing the CellSprint robotic harvesters. The award is active and the contract is active.

This opportunity indicates demand from Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust for specialist support of CellSprint robotic harvesters. Suppliers competing for comparable healthcare equipment servicing work would need relevant engineering capability, practical knowledge of robotic harvesters and the capacity to provide reliable planned service support over a full annual contract. Credibility would also depend on being able to administer the service contract effectively for an NHS customer, coordinate with operational and procurement teams, and support equipment used in a healthcare environment. Hiykon Consulting Engineers Ltd’s selection shows that a specialist engineering consultancy was considered suitable for this requirement.
