UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust bought maintenance services for its ultrasound bronchoscope equipment. The requirement is for servicing and upkeep of medical equipment, rather than the supply of new devices. The contract is associated with one lot and delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more precise delivery location is identified. The buyer is the hospital trust, which serves Kettering and the surrounding area. This is a specialist healthcare equipment maintenance requirement, relevant to suppliers with the technical ability to maintain ultrasound bronchoscopes and support their continued use in a hospital setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Ergea UK and Ireland Limited. The trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £10,500 excluding VAT and £12,600 including VAT. The award covers one lot for medical equipment maintenance services. The published procurement details do not describe evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, and the recorded route was a non-competitive direct award rather than a scored competition.

For suppliers considering similar work for Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, this award demonstrates recurring demand for maintenance of ultrasound bronchoscopes, a specialised area within medical equipment servicing. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability to maintain this type of diagnostic equipment and to provide dependable technical support in a hospital environment. Experience with medical equipment maintenance and the capacity to deliver a focused service for a single equipment requirement would be relevant. The selected supplier was Ergea UK and Ireland Limited, a large supplier, showing that the work was awarded to an established provider. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this contract, so suppliers should treat the outcome as evidence of the route used for this purchase, not as an open competitive opportunity.
