Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust bought annual infection-control maintenance and testing for dental autoclaves and washer-disinfectors. The service covers maintenance, repair and calibration of this medical equipment, supporting infection-control requirements in the Trust’s dental services. The work is medical equipment repair and maintenance. Delivery is in Somerset, England. The requirement was placed through Lot 14 of an NHS Supply Chain framework for maintenance, repair and calibration of medical equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Eschmann Technologies Ltd. The Trust used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold, through the NHS Supply Chain framework. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £28,917 excluding VAT (£34,700.40 including VAT). The process covered one lot. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded; the supplier was appointed through the framework route.

This award shows demand from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust for a single supplier to provide recurring, all-inclusive servicing of dental autoclaves and washer-disinfectors, including maintenance, repairs, testing and calibration. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the technical capability and capacity to maintain and calibrate this specialist equipment, respond to repair needs and support infection-control operations across the Trust’s dental equipment. The route used here was a call-off by direct award through the NHS Supply Chain medical equipment maintenance framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need a suitable position on the relevant framework as well as experience delivering this integrated service.
