Summary of the contracting process

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for one Neuromate robot used in medical and surgical equipment applications. The requirement covers keeping this specialist neurosurgical robotic equipment operational and supported, rather than supplying a new robot. The buying organisation is Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, whose procurement function is based at Trafford Hospital. The awarded service relates specifically to the Trust’s Neuromate Robot requirement and is classified as repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment, with medical equipment as an additional category. The work is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised service providers and specialist engineering companies supporting Neuromate systems and comparable clinical technology.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Renishaw Neuro Solutions Limited was awarded the single requirement. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its stated value is £39,265 excluding VAT, or £41,228 including VAT. The buyer has recorded both an option and a renewal of +1, and the maximum contract end date is 31 March 2028. The contract is active. A service uptime metric applies within a 12-month timeframe. The procurement used one completed lot and was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This award shows a requirement for specialist maintenance of a Neuromate robot within an NHS trust, with service uptime treated as a performance measure. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need demonstrable technical expertise in medical and surgical equipment, particularly robotic or neurosurgical systems, and the ability to maintain complex clinical technology reliably. Credibility would also depend on access to suitably qualified engineers, manufacturer-level knowledge or authorisation where required, responsive fault diagnosis, planned maintenance capability and the capacity to support equipment in a hospital environment. Renishaw Neuro Solutions Limited’s selection indicates that a specialist original-equipment or highly experienced technology provider can satisfy this type of requirement.
