Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a Plus Service plan for two Chemagic 360 instruments, serial numbers 20241969 and 20241971, used in genetics. The requirement covers repair and maintenance services for this laboratory equipment, including ongoing service support for both instruments. The work is for the Trust’s facilities in Cambridge. The buyer is a major NHS hospital organisation and the requirement is specific to laboratory equipment supporting genetic testing activity. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing manufacturer or specialist third-party maintenance, servicing and technical support for Chemagic 360 systems or comparable laboratory automation equipment. It is less relevant to general facilities management providers, suppliers of unrelated medical equipment, or businesses without experience maintaining specialist genetics laboratory systems.

The procurement has reached completion: the award is active and the single lot is complete. It was handled as a below-threshold procurement, with the specific method recorded as unknown. Revvity (UK) Limited was selected, and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. Its value is £20,130 excluding VAT, or £24,156 including VAT. The award concerns repair and maintenance services and relates to the two Chemagic 360 instruments used by the Trust’s genetics service. The procurement title refers to quote reference 40914110 and a Signature Plus Service plan. The contract is active, and the award is recorded against the completed single lot.

This procurement provides a clear signal of demand from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for planned specialist support covering two Chemagic 360 systems in a genetics setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability in servicing, maintaining and repairing Chemagic 360 instruments, together with the technical knowledge to support equipment used for genetic testing. Experience delivering a defined service plan for multiple instruments would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to provide continuing support across the service period. The successful supplier was a large UK-registered company specialising in this equipment, indicating that product-specific expertise and the ability to support a hospital laboratory environment are important competitive factors for this buyer.
