Summary of the contracting process

Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist maintenance services for an AcuPulse Duo laser, a medical and surgical device, at Chase Farm Hospital in London. The requirement covers maintaining the laser rather than supplying new equipment or carrying out general hospital facilities work. It is therefore relevant to businesses that service, support or maintain this type of medical laser and can work at the hospital site. The named buying organisation is Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. The procurement is for services in the medical equipment maintenance category, classified under CPV 50420000. The requirement was structured as a single lot and concerns one identified piece of clinical equipment.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition. Boston Scientific was selected as the supplier, with an active contract signed on 11 April 2026. The contract runs from 15 April 2026 to 24 April 2032. Its value is £39,762 excluding VAT and £47,714.40 including VAT. The contract is below threshold and covers the single maintenance requirement for the AcuPulse Duo laser at Chase Farm Hospital. The award is active, and the contract itself is also active. The published outcome identifies Boston Scientific as the successful supplier for the whole requirement.

This procurement demonstrates a sustained requirement for specialist maintenance of an AcuPulse Duo medical laser within an NHS hospital. Competitors would need practical capability in servicing and supporting this equipment, together with the technical knowledge to maintain a clinical device safely and reliably. Credible suppliers are likely to be equipment manufacturers, authorised service providers or specialist medical-equipment maintenance firms able to provide continuity of support for a single named asset. They would also need to understand the operational requirements of a hospital environment, coordinate maintenance around clinical use and provide a dependable service over a multi-year period. The buyer and equipment type provide a clear reference point for identifying comparable NHS maintenance demand.
