UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a service agreement for its Auriga XL and Holmium Pulse 120 capital equipment. The requirement covers repair and maintenance services for these devices rather than the supply of new equipment. The buying organisation is an NHS trust based at Whiston Hospital, Warrington Road, Prescot. The agreement concerns support for named clinical equipment used by the Trust, so it is most relevant to manufacturers, authorised service providers and specialist medical-device maintenance businesses with the technical capability to maintain these systems. Suppliers whose work is limited to general facilities maintenance, unrelated clinical equipment or equipment supply without after-sales servicing are less closely aligned with this requirement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold tender procedure; the published method detail records the specific method as unknown. It comprised one lot, now complete. The contract was awarded to Boston Scientific Limited, whose award status is active. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 July 2027. Its value is £21,926 excluding VAT and £26,311 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement for repair and maintenance. The structured contract period differs from the service period described in the requirement, which referred to 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027.

This award shows a defined NHS requirement for specialist maintenance of Auriga XL and Holmium Pulse 120 equipment, delivered through a dedicated service agreement rather than ad hoc repairs. A credible competitor for similar work would need demonstrable technical expertise in these named systems, the ability to diagnose faults and carry out repairs, and sufficient service capacity to support capital equipment throughout an NHS hospital environment. Relevant experience should include planned and reactive maintenance, reliable response arrangements, engineering documentation and safe working around clinical operations. Manufacturers, authorised partners and specialist medical-device service firms are the strongest comparators, while general engineering contractors would need clear evidence of equivalent equipment capability.
