Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist maintenance services for three hospital X-ray systems: a Definium Tempo Pro and two GE Optima XR240amx units, including one portable machine. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment (CPV 50420000), supporting the safe and reliable operation of diagnostic imaging equipment. The work is for the Trust’s services in Liverpool. It is a single requirement covering the named equipment rather than a broad supply of new imaging systems. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide planned and reactive maintenance for the specified models, understand the operational needs of NHS imaging departments, and work within a hospital environment while maintaining equipment availability, safety and performance.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. It used one lot, which was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Probo Medical Ltd was selected as supplier. The award value is £26,158 excluding VAT, or £31,389.60 including VAT. The award notice was published on 24 August 2026, with contract signature scheduled for the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award rather than competitive tendering, so the published process does not set out a multi-supplier comparison or scored evaluation basis.

This award demonstrates sustained NHS demand for specialist maintenance of established X-ray equipment, including fixed and portable GE systems. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical capability across the Definium Tempo Pro and GE Optima XR240amx platforms, with access to suitably qualified engineers, diagnostic expertise and compatible parts. Experience maintaining medical imaging equipment in healthcare settings would support confidence in safe, reliable service delivery. Suppliers should also be able to manage planned maintenance, fault response and equipment-specific records in a way that fits NHS operational and governance requirements. The opportunity is particularly relevant to medical equipment service providers, imaging-system specialists and SMEs able to support hospital customers with responsive engineering coverage.
