Summary of the contracting process

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust procured a Milli-Q IX 7005 deionised and reverse-osmosis water system for the MR-guided focused ultrasound service at Charing Cross Hospital in London. The requirement covered supply, installation and commissioning of the 5-litre-per-hour system, including a 50-litre tank, volumetric dispensing and wall mounting. This is a specialist goods requirement for water filtration and purification equipment supporting a hospital-based medical imaging and treatment service. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust managed the procurement on behalf of the buying organisation. The relevant equipment category is machinery and apparatus for filtering or purifying water (CPV 42912300). The selected supplier was Merck Life Science UK Limited, a large supplier based in Dorset.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold purchase. Merck Life Science UK Limited received the award on 21 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 22 September to 22 October 2026. Its value is £12,000.51 excluding VAT and £14,400.61 including VAT. There was one completed lot, covering the full water-system requirement. The award was for goods and the contract is active. The process used a direct procurement route rather than an open or competitive tender. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the awarded contract, providing a clear example of a specialist hospital equipment purchase made under the below-threshold, non-competitive route.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers able to provide specialist deionised and reverse-osmosis water systems for healthcare environments, together with installation and commissioning. Credible competitors would need to supply equipment with the required purification capacity, tank storage, volumetric dispensing and wall-mounting arrangement, and understand how such systems support an MR-guided focused ultrasound service. The purchase also indicates demand for a complete, installed and operational solution rather than equipment supply alone. Businesses with experience delivering water-treatment equipment into hospitals or other controlled clinical settings would be well placed to demonstrate suitability when comparable requirements return. Product knowledge, installation capability, commissioning expertise and the capacity to support a large NHS trust are commercially relevant strengths for this type of work.
