UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a service contract for the Robot Rowa 4576. The requirement is for repair and maintenance services for this named piece of equipment, rather than the purchase of goods or wider hospital facilities management. The buying organisation is based in Cambridge, and the service relates to the Trust’s operational equipment there. This is a specialist healthcare equipment maintenance requirement, relevant to manufacturers, authorised service providers and engineering businesses with the technical ability to support Robot Rowa 4576 systems. The procurement concerns a single requirement and is categorised under repair and maintenance services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a below-threshold procedure. One lot was awarded to Becton Dickinson Dispensing UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 17 September 2026 to 16 September 2027. Its value is £29,856.73 excluding VAT, or £35,828.08 including VAT. The recorded award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement information does not set out a separate award date or evaluation weighting. The outcome confirms that the Trust selected a supplier for the Robot Rowa 4576 service requirement through a below-threshold route, with the contract covering a one-year service period.

This award is useful market evidence for businesses specialising in automated dispensing equipment, pharmacy robotics and associated engineering support. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical capability to repair and maintain the Robot Rowa 4576, access to appropriately skilled service personnel, and the capacity to support a hospital trust throughout a full service period. Experience of maintaining the same model or closely related pharmacy automation would help demonstrate technical fit, while familiarity with healthcare operating environments would support reliable delivery around clinical services. The procurement also shows that Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust uses a focused, below-threshold service route for this type of specialist equipment requirement, rather than combining it with a wider maintenance contract.
