Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured a comprehensive multi-year maintenance service for three Canon OCT-R1 optical coherence tomography cameras at Leicester General Hospital, in the Diabetic Retinopathy department. The equipment is used to capture high-definition cross-sectional images of the retina and anterior chamber, supporting clinical assessment and monitoring of conditions including glaucoma and macular degeneration. The requirement covers equipment maintenance and repair services for the three specified cameras, identified by serial numbers 160082, 160020 and 160090. This is a specialist medical equipment service opportunity for suppliers able to maintain ophthalmic imaging systems in a hospital environment and support equipment used in diabetic retinopathy services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the threshold, without competition. There was one lot. Sense Medical Limited was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 10 July 2026. The contract runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2031. Its value is £42,750 excluding VAT and £51,300 including VAT. The award covers services for the three OCT cameras. The tender itself specified a service period from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2031, while the signed contract records the operative period as 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2031. The contracting authority is University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, and the procurement status is complete with the contract active.

This award demonstrates a hospital requirement for long-term, comprehensive maintenance of Canon OCT imaging equipment supporting retinal diagnosis and monitoring. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need specialist capability in optical coherence tomography systems, particularly Canon OCT-R1 cameras, together with the technical capacity to maintain multiple devices over a multi-year service arrangement. Relevant experience should include planned and reactive repair of medical and surgical equipment in a clinical setting, with an understanding of the operational importance of diabetic retinopathy services and the need to keep diagnostic equipment reliable. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a business of specialist scale can satisfy this type of NHS equipment-maintenance requirement. Competitors should monitor this buyer's ophthalmic equipment needs and be prepared to demonstrate manufacturer-specific competence and service resilience.
