Summary of the contracting process

Western Health & Social Care Trust is procuring routine servicing and repair for seven Bayer injection systems used by the Trust. The requirement covers both preventative maintenance (PPM) and comprehensive mixed-cover arrangements, so the provider must support planned servicing as well as repairs under differing levels of cover. This is a specialist medical-equipment maintenance service rather than the supply of new equipment. The work is for the Trust in Northern Ireland, with the buyer based at Altnagelvin Area Hospital in Londonderry. The procurement is classified as repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). It is a single requirement and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected provider is Bayer Public Limited Company.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award and the tender is complete. The Trust selected Bayer Public Limited Company, the original equipment manufacturer and exclusive service and maintenance agent for Bayer injection systems in Northern Ireland. The award is above threshold and valued at £366,304 excluding VAT, or £439,564.80 including VAT. The award date is 3 September 2026. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030, with a possible maximum extension to 30 September 2034. Renewal comprises four one-year extensions, subject to annual review. A scheduled signature milestone is due by 28 September 2026, and the standstill period ends on 14 September 2026.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from the Western Health & Social Care Trust for specialist servicing and repair of Bayer injection systems, covering seven units and combining planned preventative maintenance with comprehensive support. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in Bayer injection systems, the ability to deliver manufacturer-level servicing and repairs, and sufficient technical capacity to maintain multiple systems across the Trust’s Northern Ireland operation. Experience of healthcare equipment maintenance, reliable response arrangements and the ability to manage different maintenance-cover models would strengthen a supplier’s position. The direct-award rationale also shows that original-equipment knowledge, authorised service capability and exclusive access to the relevant maintenance network were decisive requirements in this procurement.
