Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist maintenance services for its ENT and otology surgical drills and associated European kits. The equipment listed includes a European kit, a 4.0 cm straight irrigation attachment, five S2 European kits and 4.0 cm angled irrigation attachments, identified by the relevant serial numbers. The requirement falls within repair and maintenance services for medical and surgical equipment (CPV 50420000). The work is for the Trust’s equipment in Sheffield. This is a focused clinical equipment maintenance requirement rather than a general facilities, IT or broad healthcare services contract. Businesses suited to this opportunity would need to work specifically with ENT or otology surgical drill systems and their compatible attachments and kits.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. One lot was completed, and the contract was awarded to Stryker (UK) Ltd. The award date is 22 July 2026, when the contract was signed. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. Its value is £40,777.70 gross. Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was therefore conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, with the requirement centred on maintenance of the specified ENT and otology drills and attachments. The five-year contract period indicates a planned, continuing maintenance arrangement for this equipment.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust for specialist maintenance of ENT and otology surgical equipment. Stryker (UK) Ltd was selected, showing that a credible competitor would need strong familiarity with the relevant Stryker equipment, including European kits, irrigation attachments and the specific drill systems identified by serial number. Technical capability to inspect, maintain, repair and support medical and surgical equipment in a paediatric hospital environment would be central. Suppliers would also need the operational capacity to support a defined installed base over a multi-year service arrangement, maintain equipment reliability and minimise disruption to clinical activity. Manufacturer expertise, authorised servicing capability or demonstrable experience with equivalent specialist systems would strengthen a future competing proposition, without relying on general facilities-maintenance credentials alone.
