Summary of the contracting process

York Teaching Hospital Facilities Management LLP procured maintenance services for a relocatable MRI pod and its support pod at York Hospital in York. The requirement covers the repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment associated with the relocatable MRI installation. It is a specialist healthcare facilities and medical-equipment maintenance service for the hospital’s diagnostic imaging infrastructure. The buyer is a public authority operating at sub-central government level. The work is delivered at York Hospital, York, rather than across a wider regional programme. Businesses with experience maintaining MRI-related accommodation, support systems or specialist medical equipment would find the subject matter most relevant, particularly where they can support equipment manufactured or supplied for a specific installation.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award, justified because the pods were manufactured by the selected supplier and on technical grounds relating to a single supplier. The award date was 19 August 2026. W.H. Bence (Coachworks) Limited was selected for the single lot. The awarded value is £207,200 excluding VAT, or £248,640 including VAT. The contract period is from 2 September 2026 to 31 May 2035. The award is above the relevant threshold. The stated procurement category is services, evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 1 September 2026, following a standstill period ending on 31 August 2026.

This award demonstrates sustained NHS demand for long-term maintenance of relocatable MRI accommodation and associated support pods. A credible future competitor would need technical capability in repairing and maintaining medical and surgical equipment, together with a detailed understanding of MRI environments, pod structures and the interfaces between clinical equipment, utilities and specialist accommodation. Experience supporting manufacturer-specific installations would be particularly important, since the direct award relied on the pods being manufactured by the selected supplier and on single-supplier technical reasons. Suppliers should also be able to provide dependable planned and reactive maintenance over a lengthy service arrangement, manage healthcare-site requirements safely, and demonstrate the capacity and quality controls expected by an NHS hospital. W.H. Bence was identified as an SME supplier.
