Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a Platinum Service and Maintenance contract for four Autolog Systems, identified by serial numbers 10915, 10949, 10950 and 12101. The requirement is a specialist repair and maintenance service for these systems, supporting their continued operation within the Trust’s Cambridge-based hospital environment. The buyer is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a public authority responsible for NHS hospital services. The awarded supplier, Medtronic Limited, is a large medical technology company. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses with experience maintaining Autolog Systems or comparable specialised clinical equipment, particularly suppliers able to provide manufacturer-level servicing, technical support and planned maintenance for hospital assets. The service relates to equipment rather than general facilities maintenance or construction work.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded to Medtronic Limited. The award is active and covers one lot. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026, with a contract period from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2031. Its value is £32,000 excluding VAT, or £38,400 including VAT. The award concerns repair and maintenance services and is linked to all four Autolog Systems. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust used a below-threshold procurement route; the recorded procurement method is unknown. The tender and lot are marked complete, while the contract is active. The award date is 23 July 2026. The available outcome shows Medtronic Limited as the selected supplier for the full requirement, rather than separate suppliers for different equipment or lots.

This procurement demonstrates established NHS demand for multi-year specialist maintenance of Autolog Systems. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven technical capability with these systems, or clearly evidenced experience maintaining comparable clinical and laboratory equipment, together with the capacity to support four assets over an extended service period. Relevant strengths would include planned preventative maintenance, fault diagnosis, repair, replacement of parts and responsive technical support, delivered in a hospital setting where equipment reliability is important. Suppliers would also need to understand NHS operational requirements, coordinate service activity around clinical use, and provide clear maintenance records and escalation arrangements. The award to Medtronic Limited indicates that specialist medical-device capability and the ability to support the manufacturer’s equipment were central to satisfying this buyer’s requirement.
