UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for its Ilumien Optis™ System, used in a cardiac catheterisation laboratory (Cath Lab). The requirement is specialist repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment, covering the hospital’s installed imaging system rather than a general facilities-management service. The buying organisation is based in Swindon, and the equipment is used within the Trust’s hospital operations. This opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised service providers and specialist medical-equipment maintenance businesses with practical capability in supporting Ilumien Optis™ systems or comparable Cath Lab equipment. It is a single-service requirement focused on keeping a specific clinical system operational and maintained for the Trust.

The procurement was completed through a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. One award was made to Abbott Medical U.K. Ltd for the maintenance service. The award date was 7 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 7 July 2026. The active contract runs from 8 July 2026 to 7 July 2029. Its value is £42,000 gross. The process had one lot, which was completed. The stated service classification is repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment. This outcome indicates that the Trust selected a supplier directly for the defined Ilumien Optis™ System maintenance requirement, rather than evaluating competing tenders against a published price-and-quality scoring model.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need demonstrable technical capability to maintain Ilumien Optis™ Systems used in a Cath Lab, together with experience of servicing specialist medical and surgical equipment in a hospital environment. The selected supplier is Abbott Medical U.K. Ltd, a large organisation, showing that the buyer accepted a provider with the scale to support a named clinical system over a multi-year service arrangement. Competitors would need dependable maintenance delivery, access to suitably skilled engineers and the ability to support equipment whose availability matters to cardiac catheterisation services. Businesses with manufacturer-level expertise, established medical-equipment service operations or relevant healthcare engineering experience would be best placed to assess comparable demand from this NHS Trust.
