UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust bought a one-year service and maintenance service for medical equipment supplied by AB SCIEX UK Limited. The requirement sits within medical equipment support and contract administration services, with the equipment associated with the Trust’s hospital operations in Birmingham. The work is for maintaining existing equipment rather than supplying new equipment or delivering construction works. The named buyer is the Trust, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. The selected supplier is AB SCIEX UK Limited, a large company based in Solihull. This requirement will be relevant to businesses providing specialist maintenance, servicing and technical support for AB SCIEX medical equipment, or to firms with an established capability in maintaining comparable clinical equipment for NHS organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to AB SCIEX UK Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is active and relates to a single lot. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2027. Its value is £22,272.06 excluding VAT, or £26,726.47 including VAT. The contract covers the one-year service and maintenance requirement for the medical equipment supplied by the awarded company. The published classification is contract administration services, although the procurement description identifies the substantive requirement as equipment servicing and maintenance. The process was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and no competing suppliers or scored evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from a major NHS foundation trust for planned maintenance of specialist medical equipment, with the requirement placed directly with the equipment supplier. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in servicing and maintaining the relevant AB SCIEX equipment, including the technical knowledge to support clinical users and keep equipment reliable in a hospital environment. Evidence of manufacturer-level capability, suitably trained engineers, responsive fault support and experience working safely in NHS or other healthcare settings would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses should also be able to manage a defined annual maintenance service, understand the operational importance of equipment availability and meet the Trust’s procurement and contract-management requirements for specialist clinical technology.
