Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured trust-wide servicing and maintenance for dishwashers used across its organisation. The requirement is a service contract for repairing, maintaining and supporting dishwasher equipment, with the procurement classification referring to repair and maintenance services for medical and surgical equipment (CPV 50420000). The buyer is an NHS Foundation Trust and central purchasing body based in Worthing. Delivery is described as trust-wide, so the work relates to the equipment and sites operated by the Trust rather than a single location. The stated purpose was to buy additional services or partly replace existing services that were the same as, or compatible with, existing arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. It was described as a direct award under the threshold through a national framework agreement, with price as the award criterion. Hobart (UK) Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract is active and was signed on 18 August 2026 for £94,541. One bid was recorded. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The stated rationale was to obtain additional or partly replace existing goods, services or works that are the same as, or compatible with, existing provision. The process used a single lot, which is recorded as cancelled, alongside the active award and contract.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a large NHS organisation for planned and responsive dishwasher maintenance delivered across a trust-wide estate. Suppliers likely to compete successfully for a similar requirement would need practical expertise in commercial dishwasher servicing, fault diagnosis, repair and preventive maintenance, together with the capacity to support equipment across multiple healthcare sites. Experience of maintaining the same or compatible equipment would be commercially relevant, particularly where continuity with an existing installation matters. The route also indicates the importance of access to an appropriate national framework and the ability to provide a straightforward price-led offer. Businesses should be able to manage coordinated service delivery for an NHS customer and maintain reliable records of work completed.
