UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Cheshire & Mersey NHS Foundation Trust bought manufacturer technical training from Draeger Medical UK for two medical engineering engineers. The training covers the Trust’s Draeger ventilator, which supports critical care in intensive care and neonatal services. Its purpose is to equip the engineers to diagnose faults, carry out repairs and planned preventative maintenance, and join the on-call rota providing ventilator support. The work is associated with the Trust in the Warrington area. This is specialist technical training for a specific ventilator manufacturer and equipment, rather than general clinical training or a broad engineering service.

The procurement is complete: Draeger Medical UK Limited was selected and the contract was signed on 25 September 2026. The award was made by direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £10,680 excluding VAT (£12,816 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the manufacturer’s technical training for two Trust medical engineering engineers. The training supports fault diagnosis, repair, planned maintenance and on-call ventilator support; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award shows demand for manufacturer-specific training that enables a hospital’s medical engineering team to maintain and support ventilators used in critical care and neonatal services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide training on the relevant ventilator models and develop engineers’ practical competence in fault diagnosis, repair and planned preventative maintenance. The work was tailored to two engineers and included preparation for an on-call support rota, so suppliers should be able to address both planned maintenance and operational support needs. The buyer selected the ventilator manufacturer through a below-threshold direct award without competition, making manufacturer expertise and access to the equipment central to this particular purchase.
