UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a fully comprehensive service contract for its AcuPulse laser. The requirement covers ongoing servicing, repair and maintenance of this medical and surgical equipment, including comprehensive service support rather than a one-off repair. The buying organisation is the NHS Trust, based at Whiston Hospital in Prescot. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist medical equipment maintenance requirement, relevant to manufacturers, authorised service providers and engineering businesses with the technical capability to support AcuPulse laser systems. The procurement concerns services, with the related classification describing repair and maintenance services for medical and surgical equipment. The requirement was handled as one completed lot.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below threshold without competition. Lumenis BE (UK) Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 12 June 2026 and runs from 13 June 2026 to 12 June 2031. The contract value is £37,080 excluding VAT, or £44,496 including VAT. The award is active and relates to the single lot covering the AcuPulse laser service requirement. The process was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The published legal basis is the Procurement Act 2023, section or reference 2023/54. The contract remains active for its five-year period, subject to its terms.

This award demonstrates sustained NHS demand for comprehensive support of AcuPulse laser equipment and shows that the requirement is substantial enough to run over a multi-year service period. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need specialist knowledge of AcuPulse laser systems, the ability to provide planned servicing and responsive repairs, and sufficient engineering capacity to maintain medical equipment reliably throughout the contract. Businesses should also be able to deliver a genuinely comprehensive service, covering the full maintenance requirement rather than isolated interventions. Experience supporting medical or surgical equipment would help demonstrate technical competence, operational reliability and an understanding of the standards expected in a hospital environment. The selected supplier is a large specialist business, indicating the scale and technical focus of the incumbent provision.
