Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured consumables, spare parts and repair services for clinical and medical equipment. The requirement supports the continuation of NHS clinical services by supplying replacement parts and carrying out repairs and maintenance on medical and surgical equipment. Delivery is for the Trust’s operations in Leicester and elsewhere within the United Kingdom as required. The procurement combines goods with associated equipment repair and maintenance services, covering medical equipment and its supporting consumables, accessories and replacement parts. It is a single requirement rather than multiple lots, and the named buyer is University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. This opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors, specialist medical equipment suppliers and contractors able to provide compatible parts and repair support for clinical equipment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. Tenacore UK Limited was selected on 27 July 2026, with an award value of £230,000 excluding VAT and £276,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award and contract identify Tenacore UK Limited as the supplier. The Trust’s rationale was a risk-based approach consistent with its Medical Device Policy and MHRA guidance, supported by single-supplier intellectual property or exclusive-rights and technical-reasons classifications. The contract is above the relevant threshold. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route, with one completed lot. The award record shows a standstill period ending on 6 August 2026 and a scheduled signature date of 7 August 2026.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from a major NHS Trust for dependable clinical equipment consumables, replacement parts, repairs and maintenance. A credible future competitor would need specialist knowledge of medical and surgical equipment, reliable access to compatible or manufacturer-approved parts, and the technical capability to diagnose, repair and maintain equipment used in clinical services. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate robust quality, traceability and assurance across their supply chain, particularly where alternative manufacturers or sources would require additional assessment. Familiarity with NHS Medical Device Policy, MHRA guidance and NHS contractual requirements would strengthen credibility. The requirement is also relevant to smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, provided they can provide the necessary specialist capacity, continuity of supply, responsive repair support and evidence that their equipment and parts are safe and suitable for clinical use.
