Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist maintenance and technical support for its CUSA Clarity ultrasonic surgical aspirator system and associated handpieces. The requirement covers preventative maintenance, repairs, software support and access to manufacturer-approved parts. The services are intended to keep equipment safe, functional and clinically ready in the Trust’s neuro theatres. This is a specialist medical and surgical equipment maintenance requirement, covering repair and maintenance services for medical equipment (CPV 50420000 and 50421000). The work is delivered for the Trust in the United Kingdom. The procurement requires original equipment manufacturer capability because the Trust identified technical, compliance and product knowledge requirements for maintaining this particular surgical system.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. There was one completed lot. The contract was awarded to INTEGRA NEUROSCIENCES LIMITED, a large supplier, for £35,160 excluding VAT (£42,192 including VAT). The award date was 26 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with signature due by 30 September 2026. The evaluation basis was the buyer’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive scoring exercise. The selected supplier is the manufacturer-linked provider identified for the CUSA Clarity system and its associated handpieces.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for OEM-supported maintenance of specialist ultrasonic surgical aspiration equipment, including planned servicing, fault repair, software support and approved replacement parts. Suppliers seeking comparable future work for this Trust would need credible expertise in CUSA Clarity systems and their handpieces, with access to manufacturer-approved parts and software support. They would also need to show that their technical work preserves equipment safety, functionality and clinical readiness in neuro-theatre environments. The requirement favours organisations with specialist medical-device engineering capability, OEM knowledge, appropriate technical procedures and the capacity to support critical clinical equipment throughout a multi-year service arrangement. Understanding the Trust’s equipment base and maintenance needs would be important when this requirement is next considered.
