Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured an eight-year maintenance service for an Ulrich CT Injector used by its cardiac services at Basildon and Thurrock Community Diagnostic Hub. The requirement is a specialist medical equipment repair and maintenance service, covering the CT injector and its ongoing servicing rather than the supply of new equipment. The buyer is the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, based in Basildon. The service concerns planned preventative maintenance and the upkeep of medical and surgical equipment, with delivery centred on the Trust’s Basildon and Thurrock clinical diagnostic operations. It is relevant to medical equipment manufacturers, authorised service providers and specialist healthcare engineering businesses with experience maintaining CT injector equipment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was a single-lot requirement. The contract was signed and awarded on 27 July 2026 to Uniphar Medtech trading as Cardiac Services. The contract value is £33,344 excluding VAT, or £40,012.80 including VAT. The contract period runs from 20 September 2026 to 19 June 2034. The agreed service measure requires the supplier to complete all scheduled planned preventative maintenance visits in line with the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule, with completion within each agreed contract year. Evaluation details are not stated in the procurement record. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award shows sustained NHS demand for specialist maintenance of CT injector equipment within cardiac and diagnostic services, delivered through a limited competition route below the applicable threshold. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in repairing and maintaining medical and surgical equipment, with specific practical experience of Ulrich CT Injectors or equivalent equipment. The service model requires reliable planned preventative maintenance, adherence to the manufacturer’s recommended schedule and completion of scheduled visits within each contract year. Suppliers would therefore need sufficient specialist engineering capacity, disciplined service planning and the ability to support a long-running healthcare equipment maintenance obligation. Medical technology service firms and authorised or technically experienced equipment maintenance providers are the most closely aligned businesses.
