Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust bought a maintenance service for XLTEC neurophysiology equipment at Sheffield Children’s Hospital in Sheffield. The work covers the upkeep of specialist medical equipment used in neurophysiology. The procurement is a single service requirement, rather than a wider hospital maintenance contract. The equipment maintenance falls within medical equipment repair and maintenance services (CPV 50421000).

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust awarded the single requirement directly to Optima Medical Ltd, without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 11 September 2026 to 10 September 2027. Its stated value is £22,124.29 excluding VAT (£22,124.99 including VAT). The recorded award does not state a separate award date or evaluation criteria; the route was a direct award without a competitive evaluation.

For this requirement to be credible when similar maintenance is next considered, a supplier would need the technical capability and service capacity to maintain XLTEC neurophysiology equipment used at a children’s hospital. Experience with specialist medical equipment maintenance and the ability to support equipment at Sheffield Children’s Hospital are directly relevant. The award shows that the Trust has bought this as a standalone, below-threshold service and selected a supplier through a direct, non-competitive route. Suppliers should therefore understand the incumbent equipment and the Trust’s specific maintenance needs, rather than relying on general hospital facilities or broad medical-equipment credentials alone. Optima Medical Ltd was selected for this contract.
