Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust bought fully comprehensive maintenance for its Hologic mammography equipment. The service covers 12 devices and includes repairs, servicing, replacement parts and call-outs. Work is carried out at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton and at other off-site equipment locations, with supplier attendance arranged at the equipment site. This is medical equipment repair and maintenance, specifically for Hologic mammography systems (CPV 50421000). The requirement supports the Trust’s use of equipment it has already purchased, rather than the supply of new machines. The equipment maintenance is managed by the Trust, with delivery across the hospital and other locations where its equipment is installed.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hologic, which also signed the contract. The award was made through the NHS Supply Chain framework for maintenance, repair and calibration of medical equipment, without a separate competition. The Trust purchased comprehensive cover for 12 devices: 11 for 12 months and one for 18 months. The contract period runs from 9 May 2027 to 31 March 2028, and the contract was signed on 25 September 2026. Its value is £187,901.38. The only stated award criterion was price. The lot is marked cancelled in the procurement data, although the award and contract are recorded as active; the award outcome is therefore recorded here as shown.

This award demonstrates demand from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for specialist, fully comprehensive maintenance of Hologic mammography equipment, including servicing, repairs, parts and call-out support across hospital and off-site locations. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need the technical ability and capacity to maintain multiple devices, respond to faults at different sites, and provide the necessary parts and servicing as a single comprehensive service. The selected supplier was Hologic, and the procurement used an NHS Supply Chain framework without a separate competition, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to be positioned to meet the framework’s requirements and deliver this brand-specific service. Price was the stated evaluation basis, making competitive pricing central alongside dependable technical coverage.
