UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought maintenance services for Bracco CT and MRI injectors used with its CT and MRI machines. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of this medical and surgical equipment, supporting the continued operation of diagnostic imaging services. The buyer is based at Marlborough Road, Swindon, and the equipment is used by the Trust. The selected supplier, Bracco UK Limited, is a large medical technology company based in Oxford. This is a manufacturer-specific maintenance requirement for Bracco injectors, rather than a general medical equipment maintenance service, so relevant capability includes familiarity with Bracco injector systems and their integration with CT and MRI equipment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. One lot was completed, with the contract awarded to Bracco UK Limited. The award was made on 31 July 2026. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £66,327.15. The contract is active. Evaluation was not competitive because the buyer used a direct award procedure. A contractual performance measure requires breakdown calls reported before midday to be attended on the same day, and calls reported after midday on the next day, subject to engineer availability.

This award confirms an NHS trust’s recurring need for specialist maintenance of Bracco injectors supporting CT and MRI imaging. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical expertise in Bracco systems, including diagnosing and repairing injector faults and maintaining equipment integrated with diagnostic imaging machines. It would also need sufficient engineering capacity to provide responsive breakdown attendance, with a service model capable of meeting same-day or next-day targets depending on when faults are reported and subject to engineer availability. Experience supporting NHS or other clinical environments would help demonstrate an understanding of service continuity, equipment reliability and the operational importance of keeping imaging services running.
