UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust procured annual maintenance services for its Carto 3 system, asset 131352. The requirement covers maintenance of this named system rather than a general facilities or equipment service. The buying organisation is based in Birmingham, and the work relates to the Trust's Carto 3 asset there. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust managed the procurement through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, a shared procurement service acting for multiple NHS Trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull integrated care system. This is a specialist healthcare equipment maintenance requirement for suppliers that understand Carto 3 systems and can support their continued operation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Johnson & Johnson Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 8 April 2026 and runs from 9 April 2026 to 8 April 2027. Its value is £14,000 excluding VAT, or £16,800 including VAT. The contract is active and the award is active. The stated classification is contract administration services, although the procurement description identifies the requirement as annual maintenance for the Carto 3 system. The process used a waiver route rather than a competitive tender, so the recorded outcome relates to a specific supplier and named asset.

This procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist maintenance of a Carto 3 system, identified by asset number, with the work placed directly with the original selected supplier, Johnson & Johnson Ltd. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical competence in maintaining Carto 3 systems, experience supporting comparable healthcare technology, and the ability to provide reliable annual maintenance for a named clinical asset. Suppliers should also be able to manage service administration and work within NHS procurement and operational requirements. The buyer's use of a direct, below-threshold route indicates that technical fit and continuity for the existing system were commercially important in this purchase.
