Summary of the contracting process

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for cath lab and fluoroscopy trollies. The requirement covers the inspection, servicing, repair and upkeep of medical equipment used in hospital clinical environments. It is a services contract for medical and precision equipment maintenance (CPV 50400000), delivered across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The buyer is the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, based in Chester. The requirement was structured as one completed lot and relates specifically to cath lab and fluoroscopy trollies rather than general hospital equipment maintenance.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The contract was awarded to Stryker UK Limited through a below-threshold procedure; the procurement method is recorded as unknown. The award was made on 4 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 4 September 2026. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2031. Its value is £22,933.97 excluding VAT, or £27,520.77 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the full maintenance requirement. The active contract is held by Stryker UK Limited, and the tender and lot both have completed status. The published outcome therefore records a single supplier and a five-year maintenance arrangement for the specified equipment.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for specialist maintenance of cath lab and fluoroscopy trollies across a wide English service area. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need technicians able to maintain, diagnose and repair this type of medical and precision equipment, together with the operational capacity to support hospital sites across multiple English regions. Experience working in clinical environments would be important, as would dependable response, planned servicing and repair arrangements that protect the availability of equipment used in diagnostic and interventional care. Suppliers should also be able to manage a focused equipment estate for a public-sector healthcare buyer, rather than offering only general facilities maintenance. The incumbent is a large specialist medical technology company, indicating a market suited to established equipment-service providers or suitably capable specialist partners.
