UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured a maintenance service agreement for eight Cell Savers Xtra 230/50 devices. The equipment is identified by serial numbers SERBO23861D14, SERBO23862D14, SERBO17232M10, SERBO23852D14, SERBO23860D14, SERBO28246L16, SERBO28247L16 and SERBO38207F23. This is a specialist medical and surgical equipment repair and maintenance service, covering the Trust’s Cell Saver equipment in Liverpool. The requirement is focused on maintaining an identified installed fleet rather than supplying general equipment or broader hospital engineering services. Businesses operating in medical equipment servicing, particularly those able to support Cell Savers Xtra 230/50 units, are the closest fit. The buying organisation is Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct procedure below the threshold without competition. Livanova UK Ltd was selected as the supplier, with one completed lot and an active award. The award date is 7 September 2026. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £20,127.50 excluding VAT, or £24,153 including VAT. The contract covers maintenance services for the eight specified Cell Savers Xtra 230/50 devices. The procurement used a single-lot arrangement and a direct award route, so there was no competitive tender evaluation between bidders. The contract is below the relevant threshold and remains active for its stated period.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist maintenance of an installed fleet of eight Cell Savers Xtra 230/50 devices at an NHS heart and chest hospital. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical capability in repair and preventive maintenance of this specific medical equipment, together with the capacity to support multiple individually identified units under one service agreement. Suppliers should be able to manage serial-numbered assets, plan servicing across a hospital environment and provide dependable maintenance for equipment used in clinical care. Experience of working with NHS trusts and of maintaining regulated medical and surgical equipment would strengthen a supplier’s position. The incumbent’s selection through a direct, below-threshold route also indicates the value of specialist product knowledge and an established ability to support the Trust’s installed equipment.
