Summary of the contracting process

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured a planned preventative maintenance service for the annual maintenance of wheelchairs. This is a healthcare equipment servicing requirement, covering repair and maintenance services for medical and surgical equipment. The work is for the Trust, based in Liverpool, and delivery covers locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is service-based rather than a supply of new wheelchairs or other equipment. It is relevant to businesses that maintain wheelchairs and comparable medical equipment for NHS or other healthcare organisations, particularly those able to support a geographically broad service requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded. The Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. ARJO UK LIMITED was selected as the supplier, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £12,636 excluding VAT and £15,163.20 including VAT. The procurement comprised one completed lot. The awarded service is classified as repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment. The route was a non-competitive direct award, so suppliers were not evaluated through a competitive tender process for this contract.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates a defined NHS requirement for recurring planned maintenance of wheelchairs over a one-year service period. A credible competitor for a future requirement from The Walton Centre would need demonstrable capability in servicing wheelchairs and related medical equipment, with the operational capacity to schedule and complete annual preventative maintenance reliably. The geographic scope indicates that suppliers competing for comparable work may need to support healthcare sites across England, rather than operate only in one local area. Relevant experience of working with NHS or healthcare customers, dependable maintenance processes, suitably skilled service engineers and the ability to manage planned servicing records would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
