Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a comprehensive service and maintenance contract for stack systems located in its Ear, Nose and Throat outpatient department. The requirement is a repair and maintenance service for specialist clinical equipment, supporting the continued operation of ENT outpatient services at the Trust’s Cambridge site. The procurement covers services rather than the supply of new equipment or construction works. It is relevant to businesses that maintain stack systems or comparable hospital-based ENT equipment and can provide comprehensive servicing in a clinical environment. The buyer is the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a public NHS organisation responsible for the hospital service where the equipment is located.

The procurement is complete and awarded under a below-threshold procedure. It was a single-lot requirement. NHS England was selected as the supplier, with an award status of active. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2027. Its value is £35,127.50 excluding VAT, or £42,153 including VAT. The award date is 21 September 2026. The published information identifies repair and maintenance services as the service classification. The process was for one comprehensive service and maintenance contract covering the stack systems in the ENT outpatient department, with the contract period lasting one year.

This award indicates established demand from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for planned and responsive maintenance of stack systems used in an ENT outpatient setting. Competitors seeking similar NHS work would need technical capability in repair and maintenance of relevant clinical equipment, together with the operational capacity to deliver a comprehensive service rather than isolated repairs. Credible suppliers would also need to work reliably in a hospital outpatient environment, maintain service continuity for equipment supporting clinical activity, and manage the practical requirements of servicing equipment at the Trust’s Cambridge site. The selected supplier’s NHS status shows that a large public-sector healthcare organisation can fulfil this type of requirement, making relevant hospital equipment maintenance experience and dependable delivery particularly important when comparable requirements return to market.
