UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for two Avenio Edge systems supplied by Roche Diagnostics Ltd. The requirement covers a 12-month maintenance contract for these systems, supporting the continued operation of equipment used by the Trust. The procurement was managed through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, a shared procurement service hosted by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust for multiple NHS Trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System. The buyer is based in Birmingham, and the appointed supplier, Roche Diagnostics Ltd, is based in Burgess Hill, West Sussex. The associated service classification is contract administration services (CPV 79994000), although the stated requirement is equipment maintenance.

This procurement has been completed and awarded directly to Roche Diagnostics Ltd without competition, under a below-threshold waiver. The award is active and the contract was signed on 22 June 2026. The contract runs from 23 June 2026 to 22 June 2027. Its value is £70,000 excluding VAT and £84,000 including VAT. The award covers one lot and one supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The published description identifies the requirement as a 12-month maintenance contract for two Avenio Edge systems supplied by Roche Diagnostics Ltd. The contract remains active for the stated period.

For suppliers assessing future NHS diagnostics maintenance work, this award shows demand for specialist support covering Avenio Edge systems within Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. A credible competitor would need demonstrable technical capability to maintain these systems, together with the capacity to support two units over a full annual maintenance period. Experience delivering maintenance for comparable diagnostic equipment would help establish operational credibility, particularly where continuity of clinical service depends on reliable equipment support. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route also indicates that supplier familiarity with the specified Roche systems and the ability to provide a clearly defined manufacturer-related service can be commercially important when this requirement is next considered.
