Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured five-year maintenance for its trust-wide Schiller ECG server interface. The service supports the software interface used in the Trust’s ECG systems, rather than supplying new ECG equipment. The recorded service classification is software support. The buyer is the NHS Foundation Trust, based in Basildon, Essex; the requirement applies trust-wide, with no individual delivery sites identified. The contract covers planned software updates under comprehensive cover, together with remote support and labour. This is a specialist maintenance requirement tied to Schiller’s ECG server interface and its operation across the Trust. It is therefore most relevant to suppliers with the technical ability to maintain and support that interface in a healthcare environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Schiller UK Ltd; the contract is active and was signed on 1 October 2026. It runs from 2 October 2026 to 31 March 2031. The contract value is £45,000 excluding VAT (£54,000 including VAT). The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot, covering the trust-wide maintenance requirement. The agreed performance requirement is that planned software updates are completed in accordance with comprehensive cover within the agreed contract year, with remote support response within four hours and all labour costs included. No separate award date is recorded.

The award shows that this Trust buys specialist, trust-wide maintenance for its Schiller ECG server interface, including planned software updates, comprehensive cover, remote support and labour. Schiller UK Ltd was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or a published technical scoring basis. For comparable work at this Trust, a credible supplier would need proven capability to support the specific Schiller interface and maintain continuity across a multi-year service, as well as capacity to complete scheduled updates within each contract year. The stated service standard also points to the need for responsive remote technical support, including a four-hour response, and pricing that accounts for labour. This is a focused specialist software-support requirement in an NHS setting, not general ECG equipment supply.
