Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust bought a three-year maintenance service for five Erbe Medical endoscopic units at Southend. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment, with the service focused on keeping the endoscopic equipment operational through planned preventative maintenance. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust serving Mid and South Essex, and the work is associated with its Southend operation. This is a specialist medical equipment maintenance requirement rather than a general facilities-management service. Businesses are relevant if they maintain Erbe endoscopic equipment or provide manufacturer-aligned servicing for comparable medical and surgical systems in an NHS environment. The procurement was structured as a single requirement, covering the complete maintenance service rather than separate equipment or service lots.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender and its single lot are complete, and the award is active. Erbe Medical UK Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 22 June 2029. Its value is £12,900 excluding VAT and £15,480 including VAT. The contract is for maintenance services, classified under CPV 50420000, covering repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment. The agreement requires the supplier to complete all scheduled planned preventative maintenance visits in line with the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule, with completion within each agreed contract year. The award relates to the full single-lot requirement.

This award indicates a defined NHS requirement for specialist maintenance of Erbe endoscopic equipment, delivered through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible future competitor would need practical capability to service and maintain five endoscopic units, understand the equipment manufacturer’s recommended preventative-maintenance schedule, and organise all planned visits within the required annual service cycle. Relevant suppliers are likely to be medical equipment manufacturers, authorised service organisations or specialist healthcare engineering businesses with suitably trained technicians and dependable access to replacement parts, diagnostics and technical support. Experience of working in clinical settings would help demonstrate that servicing can be carried out safely and with limited disruption to NHS operations. The scale suits a focused specialist provider able to manage a small equipment estate for one NHS trust.
