UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust has successfully completed a procurement process for a two-year maintenance contract for the FibroScan 430 equipment at its Southend location. This procurement, categorised under the services industry for the repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment, has progressed to the Award stage, with the contract having been signed on 1st February 2026. The contract, valued at £12,890 excluding VAT, runs until 31st January 2028. The procurement method was limited, indicative of a below-threshold procedure with restricted competition, reflecting typical engagements for specific maintenance services in the healthcare sector.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment maintenance and services. Companies with expertise in providing planned preventative maintenance aligned with manufacturers' service schedules would be well-suited for similar future contracts. The process highlights opportunities for businesses to establish relationships with public health organisations such as the NHS, potentially leading to further engagements with large-scale healthcare providers in the United Kingdom. Such contracts, though specific, open avenues for establishing credibility and expanding footprints in the healthcare maintenance services industry.
