Summary of the contracting process

Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust is procuring planned maintenance, statutory LOLER examinations and reactive repairs for its lifting equipment and patient-handling accessories. The work includes two six-monthly service and maintenance visits across all Trust sites, an annual LOLER weight test and maintenance service, an annual LOLER visual inspection and maintenance service, two six-monthly patient sling examinations, and Monday-to-Friday breakdown and repair call-outs. This is a specialist maintenance and repair service for hoists, lifting equipment and related patient-handling accessories, rather than a supply of medical devices. Synchronicity Care Ltd is managing the procurement as the Trust’s delivery partner. The service will be delivered across the Trust’s sites in the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive procedure, with electronic submission allowed and no electronic auction. Enquiries had to be submitted by 1 September 2026 at 23:59:59, and offers by 7 September 2026 at 12:00. The anticipated contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two possible 12-month renewals and a maximum end date of 30 September 2031. The estimated value is £120,000 excluding VAT, or £150,000 including VAT. A single lot is evaluated on price at 45%, capability and capacity at 15%, partnership working and social value at 10% each, and risk management, sustainability, innovation and implementation plan at 5% each.

This opportunity suits providers with practical experience maintaining hoists and other lifting equipment used for patient handling, together with the staff and systems needed for planned visits, statutory LOLER testing, visual inspections, weight testing, sling examinations and responsive repairs. Suppliers must be able to provide weekday breakdown and repair call-outs across all Trust sites, so geographical coverage, mobile engineering capacity and dependable response arrangements will be important. The evaluation gives substantial weight to capability and capacity, alongside partnership working, risk management, sustainability, innovation, implementation planning and social value. It is therefore suited to an established specialist maintenance business that can demonstrate safe, organised service delivery across a dispersed healthcare estate.
