Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought maintenance support for its dialysis water-treatment equipment, specifically a reverse osmosis unit. The work is medical-equipment repair and maintenance. Delivery is in Sheffield, for the Trust’s hospital services. This is a focused service requirement for maintaining water-treatment equipment used in dialysis, rather than a supply of general medical equipment or a wider facilities-maintenance contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to B Braun Avitum UK Ltd. The Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £42,430. The published procurement data does not state separate evaluation criteria; the route recorded is a non-competitive direct award. The selected supplier is based in Sheffield, and the contract is active.

For suppliers competing when Sheffield Teaching Hospitals next needs this maintenance, credibility will depend on the ability to service reverse osmosis water-treatment equipment used for dialysis and to provide dependable medical-equipment maintenance support. Relevant technical expertise in the specific equipment and an effective service capability for a hospital environment would be central to matching this requirement. The awarded supplier is a large company, indicating that the buyer selected an established provider for this contract, although the procurement data does not set out formal capacity or accreditation requirements. Competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate relevant equipment experience, qualified maintenance personnel and the operational capacity to support the Trust’s dialysis water-treatment equipment.
