Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist calibration services for its audiology equipment. The requirement covers equipment listed in the procurement schedule and sits within medical and surgical equipment repair and maintenance services. The work supports the safe, accurate and reliable operation of audiology equipment used by the Trust. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site on Colney Lane in Norwich. This is a single-service requirement for an NHS hospital organisation, relevant to businesses that maintain, test and calibrate audiology or comparable clinical equipment. Suppliers should assess their ability to work with the specific equipment detailed in the schedule and to provide maintenance services in a hospital environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Diatec Diagnostics Limited was selected as the supplier, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2031. Its value is £84,358 excluding VAT, or £101,276.60 including VAT. The award covers one lot for audiology equipment calibration. The procurement used a direct below-threshold route rather than an open tender, so the published outcome records a completed purchase rather than a competitive opportunity for other suppliers. The contracting authority is Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

For competitors, this award demonstrates a sustained NHS requirement for specialist audiology equipment calibration, rather than a one-off purchase. Businesses well placed for similar work would have technicians able to calibrate audiology equipment, diagnose or address equipment issues, and maintain accurate service records across a hospital equipment schedule. Relevant experience in medical and surgical equipment maintenance would strengthen credibility, particularly where work must be carried out reliably around clinical operations. The selected supplier, Diatec Diagnostics Limited, indicates that the buyer used a specialist diagnostics and equipment-maintenance provider. Future competitors would need comparable technical expertise, operational capacity to support a substantial equipment schedule, and the ability to deliver consistently for an NHS hospital trust through a direct, below-threshold purchasing route.
