Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured a four-year maintenance service for a Candela laser GMAX PRO at Broomfield Hospital in Essex. The requirement is medical and surgical equipment repair and maintenance, focused on keeping this laser operational through planned preventative maintenance and servicing in line with the manufacturer’s recommended schedule. The Trust is the public-sector buyer and the work concerns its Broomfield operation. This is a specialist healthcare equipment service rather than a general facilities-maintenance requirement. Businesses relevant to this procurement would be medical laser manufacturers, authorised service organisations, or specialist engineering providers with the technical ability to maintain Candela GMAX PRO equipment and support its continued clinical use.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Syneron Candela (UK) Ltd on 1 September 2026. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was completed, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 3 January 2031. Its value is £23,309.16 excluding VAT, or £27,970.99 including VAT. The contract requires the supplier to complete all scheduled planned preventative maintenance visits in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule, with completion within each agreed contract year. Syneron Candela (UK) Ltd is the named awarded supplier for the full requirement.

This award demonstrates sustained NHS demand for specialist maintenance of Candela GMAX PRO medical lasers, delivered through a focused below-threshold competition rather than a broad open-market exercise. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in medical laser servicing, familiarity with Candela equipment and access to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance procedures. It would also need sufficient engineering capacity to complete every planned preventative maintenance visit within the relevant service year, maintain reliable records and support equipment used in a clinical setting. Manufacturers, authorised partners and specialist medical-equipment maintenance firms are the strongest comparable supplier profiles. Experience maintaining surgical or other high-value clinical equipment would help demonstrate the technical competence and service reliability required by this buyer.
