Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured silver-level maintenance services for one BabyWorks unit, serial number BBW0092. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of medical and precision equipment, for a named piece of specialist healthcare equipment. The buying organisation is the NHS foundation trust based in Norwich. The awarded service relates to delivery across England, covering the areas represented by the English regions from the North East and North West through Yorkshire and the Humber, the East and West Midlands, the East of England, London, the South East and the South West. This is a specialist medical-equipment maintenance requirement rather than a general facilities-management or equipment-supply contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Surgical Science UK Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a single lot. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2029. Its value is £10,681.89 excluding VAT, or £12,818.27 including VAT. The service is classified as repair and maintenance of medical and precision equipment. Surgical Science UK Limited is the selected supplier, and the contract is active. The stated requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the outcome reflects a procurement for a specific BabyWorks unit and maintenance level.

This award shows demand from an NHS foundation trust for manufacturer- or specialist-level maintenance of BabyWorks medical simulation equipment. A credible future competitor would need the technical capability to maintain the BabyWorks system identified in the requirement, including familiarity with the specific model and its maintenance requirements. Relevant suppliers are likely to be specialist medical-equipment service providers, equipment manufacturers or authorised maintenance partners able to support healthcare customers across England. The contract also indicates that the buyer purchases a defined maintenance tier for an individual unit, rather than a broad fleet-wide service. Businesses with proven repair and maintenance capability for medical and precision equipment, appropriate field-service coverage and experience supporting NHS or other clinical organisations would be best placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer.
