Summary of the contracting process

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust bought a replacement high-speed tube for an existing medical imaging room. The equipment replaces a product purchased in 2012 and must be a replacement part from its manufacturer. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, rather than a wider installation or service contract. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify a more specific delivery location. The requirement is focused on a particular tube model for the Trust’s existing equipment, so its relevance is strongest for suppliers able to source the specified manufacturer’s replacement component and support compatibility with the installed imaging system.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to MIS Healthcare Limited. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 25 September to 25 October 2026. Its stated value is £14,951.30 excluding VAT, or £17,941.56 including VAT. The purchase was recorded as one lot, covering the replacement high-speed tube. The stated rationale is that the Trust needs a manufacturer replacement part for equipment it previously bought in 2012. No evaluation criteria are recorded; the process was conducted without competition.

This purchase demonstrates a specific replacement-parts requirement for Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust’s medical imaging equipment. A credible supplier for similar future requirements would need access to the relevant manufacturer’s parts, the ability to identify the correct tube model and establish compatibility with the Trust’s existing system, and the capacity to supply a specialist item on a short, defined delivery schedule. Manufacturer-authorised supply or a clear route to genuine replacement components would be commercially important given the stated need for a part from the manufacturer. The awarded supplier was MIS Healthcare Limited, an SME, showing that this focused equipment supply was delivered by a small business. The route used was a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation model for future purchases.
