Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured a comprehensive maintenance service for five Planmeca oral X-ray devices at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. The service covers on-site preventative maintenance, on-site technical support and replacement parts for the equipment. This is a medical equipment repair and maintenance requirement, suited to suppliers specialising in dental or oral radiography equipment support, planned servicing and responsive maintenance. The buyer is a public NHS healthcare organisation, and the work is to be delivered at the hospital rather than at a supplier’s premises. The requirement relates specifically to maintaining the existing Planmeca devices, so relevant experience with this manufacturer’s oral X-ray equipment and the ability to provide site-based support are central to the service.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made. It used a limited procedure under an NHS Supply Chain framework for maintenance, repair and calibration of medical equipment, with an award made without competition or prior publication of a call for competition. The award was based on price. Xograph Healthcare Limited was selected as the supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract value is £110,640.35 excluding any separately stated tax treatment, in GBP. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026. The service period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031. The procurement record describes the service as covering five Planmeca devices at Musgrove Park Hospital and confirms that the award relates to the framework arrangement.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for manufacturer-specific oral X-ray equipment maintenance at hospital scale, combining planned preventative servicing, on-site support and replacement parts under one comprehensive arrangement. A supplier preparing for similar work for Somerset NHS Foundation Trust would need credible technical capability with Planmeca oral X-ray devices, reliable engineers able to attend Musgrove Park Hospital, and the operational capacity to maintain five devices throughout a multi-year service arrangement. It would also need to price competitively, because price was the stated award basis. Experience delivering medical equipment maintenance in NHS or comparable clinical environments would help demonstrate understanding of site access, service continuity, equipment reliability and the practical demands of supporting diagnostic equipment in use.
