Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for its Humphrey Field Analysers, specialist ophthalmic equipment used for visual field testing. The requirement falls within repair and maintenance services for medical equipment (CPV 50421000). The buyer is the NHS foundation trust, based at Gloucester Business Park in Brockworth, Gloucester. The service relates to the Trust’s HFA3 instruments and is therefore relevant to suppliers providing planned, corrective or specialist maintenance for Humphrey Field Analysers and associated ophthalmic diagnostic equipment. Businesses with experience supporting NHS or other healthcare users, maintaining clinical equipment, and providing service cover for specialist instruments may find this buyer and requirement relevant when comparable maintenance needs arise.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Carl Zeiss Limited was awarded the contract for the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £20,736 excluding VAT, or £24,883.90 including VAT. The awarded service covers maintenance of the Trust’s Humphrey Field Analysers. The award is active and the contract is active. The outcome indicates that the Trust selected a named specialist supplier through a below-threshold, non-competitive route rather than inviting competing bids. No separate award date is provided in the procurement information.

This award signals a defined requirement for specialist maintenance of Humphrey Field Analysers within Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capability in servicing these instruments, understanding of ophthalmic diagnostic equipment, and the technical resources to maintain clinical devices reliably across a multi-year service arrangement. Experience with manufacturer-supported or manufacturer-authorised maintenance would be commercially relevant, particularly where the equipment is specialist and continuity of operation matters. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate dependable response, planned servicing, fault diagnosis, repair coordination and suitable records for a healthcare environment. Carl Zeiss Limited is identified as an SME supplier, showing that this type of specialist requirement can be delivered by a focused technical business rather than only a large general contractor.
