UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter procured services to provide the remainder of an annual agreed service contract. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of medical and precision equipment, with a related goods element. The buying organisation is the University of Exeter, based in Exeter, and the work is for its equipment and operations. This is a specialist maintenance requirement rather than a general facilities or equipment-supply contract. The procurement is categorised primarily as services, with repair and maintenance services forming the relevant business activity. The requirement was organised as a single package, covering the complete service need under reference UE283887. It is relevant to suppliers that maintain medical, laboratory, scientific or other precision equipment in an institutional environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. GE Medical Systems Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 8 July 2026 to 6 July 2027. Its value is £33,753.90 including tax, and it is below the applicable threshold. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender; the purchasing route was a direct award for the remainder of the agreed annual service arrangement. The procurement covered one package, with the award and contract applying to the repair and maintenance requirement as a whole.

This outcome demonstrates demand from the University of Exeter for ongoing, planned maintenance of medical and precision equipment, with a requirement sized as a focused annual service arrangement. Competitors seeking similar work with this buyer would need a service operation capable of supporting specialist equipment reliably over a defined contract period, handling repair and maintenance obligations rather than supplying equipment alone. Credibility would come from demonstrable technical competence in relevant medical or precision equipment, suitably qualified service engineers, responsive support arrangements and the operational capacity to maintain equipment in a university setting. Experience of annual service contracts and continuity of support would also help a supplier compete when comparable requirements are next reviewed.
