Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a service and calibration contract for audiometers and other associated units at its Audiology and Emmeline Centre facilities in Cambridge. The requirement covers planned servicing, repair, maintenance and calibration of audiology equipment, supporting the continued operation and accuracy of equipment used in hearing assessment and related clinical services. This is a specialist healthcare equipment maintenance service rather than a supply-only opportunity. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust responsible for the hospitals and associated centres. The work is categorised as repair and maintenance services, with the scope focused on audiometers and associated audiology units. Suppliers serving NHS or clinical environments, with appropriate technical capability for audiology equipment, would be relevant to this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold tender route. It comprised one lot and the contract was awarded to Diatec Diagnostics Ltd, an SME. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2027. Its value is £22,182.66 excluding VAT, or £26,619.19 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded procurement method is “below threshold”, with no further method stated. The requirement was evaluated as a service procurement for audiometer and associated-unit repair and maintenance. The award covers the full stated lot, with delivery in the Cambridge area. This outcome identifies the supplier and commercial scale selected for the Trust’s audiology equipment support.

For a future requirement from this Trust, credible competitors would need to service, repair and calibrate audiometers and related audiology equipment in a clinical setting. Relevant capability would include competent technical staff, reliable fault diagnosis, calibration against appropriate standards, maintenance records and the ability to support equipment located across Audiology and the Emmeline Centre. Experience of working with NHS trusts or comparable healthcare providers would help demonstrate safe working practices, understanding of clinical environments and dependable service response. Suppliers should be able to manage a complete maintenance requirement rather than offering equipment alone, and show sufficient capacity to cover the Trust’s audiology units throughout the contract. Diatec Diagnostics Ltd’s selection indicates that a specialist SME can satisfy this type of requirement through a below-threshold tender process.
