Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured a maintenance service agreement for six Heater Cooler 3T units. The equipment is identified by serial numbers SER20T31663, SER20T31662, SER20T32412, SER20T33265, SER20T33503 and SER20T33504. The requirement covers repair and maintenance services for medical and surgical equipment, for the Trust’s hospital operations in Liverpool. The named buyer is Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. This is a specialist equipment-maintenance requirement rather than a supply-only purchase or construction project. Suppliers relevant to this type of work are those able to maintain Heater Cooler 3T systems and support medical equipment used in a heart and chest hospital environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the threshold, without competition. Livanova UK Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £16,233.30 excluding VAT, or £19,479.96 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was not competitive: the route was a below-threshold award without competition. The requirement was handled as one completed lot. The contract covers the maintenance service agreement for the six identified Heater Cooler 3T units and is classified as repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment.

This procurement shows that the Trust buys specialist maintenance support for a defined fleet of six Heater Cooler 3T units, at a scale suited to a focused medical-equipment service provider rather than a general facilities contractor. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrated technical capability with Heater Cooler 3T systems, the capacity to service multiple identified units, and the ability to provide planned maintenance and repairs in an NHS hospital setting. Relevant experience in maintaining medical and surgical equipment would strengthen its position. Suppliers should also be able to manage a service agreement around named assets, maintain reliable records against serial numbers, and support equipment whose availability matters to specialist heart and chest hospital operations.
