Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured a replacement X-ray tube and associated replacement parts for its Azurion imaging system. The requirement is for specialist X-ray equipment maintenance and repair, focused on restoring or maintaining this existing system rather than supplying a wider range of imaging equipment. The buying organisation is the Liverpool-based NHS foundation trust. The delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom, without a more specific site stated. The selected supplier, Philips Electronics UK Limited, is a healthcare equipment provider. The procurement is therefore most relevant to manufacturers and specialist service providers with the ability to supply compatible Azurion replacement components and support X-ray equipment used in a hospital environment.

The procurement is complete and Philips Electronics UK Limited was selected for the single lot; the award is active and the contract is active. The trust used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The recorded award concerns X-ray equipment repair and maintenance, and the stated requirement was replacement parts for the Azurion system. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 3 to 4 October 2026. Its value is £98,433.75 excluding VAT and £118,120.50 including VAT. The published data gives no separate award date or stated evaluation criteria, so the route was direct award rather than a scored competitive assessment. This was a single-lot procurement, with the lot marked complete.

This award demonstrates that the trust buys high-value, specialist replacement components for its Azurion X-ray system through a direct, non-competitive route. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar requirements in future would need to provide compatible parts for that installed equipment and demonstrate the technical ability to maintain or repair X-ray systems in a hospital setting. The scale points to a specialist equipment requirement rather than general medical consumables, so credibility is likely to depend on access to original or demonstrably suitable components, product knowledge and dependable technical support. Equipment manufacturers and established imaging-service firms are the closest fit; other providers would need to show they can meet the system-specific requirement to be competitive.
