Summary of the contracting process

Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust bought maintenance services for a mobile CT screening trailer at Finchley Memorial Hospital. The requirement covers the trailer identified as build number 13044 and the transport of HEPA filters, supporting continued operation of medical imaging equipment. This is a specialist healthcare engineering and equipment-maintenance requirement, rather than general vehicle servicing. The work is associated with the Trust’s London operations and the Finchley Memorial Hospital site. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity would be businesses able to maintain mobile diagnostic imaging facilities and manage the transport of specialist filtration components. The procurement is categorised as repair and maintenance services for medical and surgical equipment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition because it was below threshold. W.H. Bence (Coachworks) Limited was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date is not stated; the contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £55,920 excluding VAT and £67,104 including VAT. The award covers the three-year maintenance contract for the mobile CT screening trailer and HEPA filter transport. Evaluation was not competitive, as the buying organisation used a below-threshold direct award without competition.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust for long-term maintenance of a mobile CT screening trailer and associated HEPA filter transport. Competitors considering future work for this buyer would need capability in maintaining medical or surgical equipment, with practical understanding of mobile diagnostic imaging environments and the logistics of transporting specialist filters. The requirement indicates that the buyer values a supplier able to combine equipment maintenance with dependable supporting transport rather than provide only one of those services. A credible supplier would also need the organisational capacity to support a substantial healthcare customer over a multi-year service arrangement. The selected supplier is recorded as a large business.
