Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured a one-year Assurance Plus service and maintenance plan for its EnSite X 3D cardiac mapping systems. The work covers six identified systems and is medical equipment repair and maintenance. The systems support 3D mapping in cardiac care, and the requirement is specifically for servicing and maintaining this installed EnSite X equipment rather than a general medical-equipment maintenance service. The buying organisation is the Liverpool-based NHS foundation trust; the equipment is associated with the trust’s operations in Liverpool. Abbott Medical U.K. Limited was selected to provide the service. This requirement is most relevant to suppliers able to maintain Abbott EnSite X mapping systems and deliver the manufacturer-specific service plan.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Abbott Medical U.K. Limited was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £18,000 excluding VAT (£21,600 including VAT). The published award data identifies medical equipment repair and maintenance as the service category. The contract concerns the one-year Assurance Plus plan for six EnSite X systems; the award record does not provide separate lot-level prices. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded, consistent with the direct award route.

This award demonstrates a defined maintenance requirement for Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital’s installed EnSite X 3D mapping systems, met through Abbott Medical’s Assurance Plus service plan. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable future work would need credible, system-specific capability to service and maintain EnSite X equipment, along with the capacity to cover multiple identified devices under a coordinated annual service arrangement. Experience with specialist cardiac mapping equipment and the ability to provide the relevant manufacturer-level maintenance offer would be commercially important. The route used here was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers should note that the buyer selected a provider without running a competitive procedure for this purchase.
