UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist maintenance services for a lithotripter, including its foot pedal and Totalcare maintenance requirements. The work falls within medical and surgical equipment repair and maintenance. It supports the Trust’s theatres and EBME function, with delivery associated with the Trust in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. This is a healthcare engineering and medical equipment service requirement rather than a supply-only purchase or construction project. Businesses relevant to this requirement are providers of maintenance, servicing and technical support for lithotripters and comparable clinical equipment used in hospital theatres. The named public-sector buyer is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, which uses the equipment within its hospital services.

The procurement has completed and the requirement was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, with Boston Scientific Limited selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2027. Its value is £13,240 gross, including taxes. The contract is recorded as active. The procurement used a limited method rather than an open competition, so the route involved competition among a restricted field of suppliers. The published outcome identifies repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment as the service category. No separate award date is recorded, but the signed contract date establishes when the awarded arrangement began.

This award demonstrates a defined hospital demand for specialist lithotripter maintenance, including associated foot-pedal equipment and Totalcare support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in maintaining lithotripters or closely comparable medical and surgical equipment, with the technical knowledge to support equipment used in hospital theatres. It would also need to provide dependable maintenance services for an NHS foundation trust’s EBME function and understand the operational importance of keeping clinical equipment serviceable. The selected supplier is a large specialist medical technology company, indicating that relevant product expertise and the capacity to support an active hospital equipment service are important commercial strengths. The requirement is narrowly focused on equipment maintenance rather than general facilities management.
