Summary of the contracting process

Southern Health and Social Care Trust is buying maintenance services for its Conmed advanced visualisation systems. The requirement concerns servicing and maintaining Conmed equipment used by the Trust; the item is classified as repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). The delivery location is in Northern Ireland. This is a specialist, manufacturer-specific equipment maintenance requirement rather than general facilities maintenance or broad healthcare technology support. The selected supplier is Conmed UK Ltd, the company responsible for the Conmed equipment. The procurement covers one lot and relates to the Trust’s systems, with the stated purpose of maintaining them for the Southern Health and Social Care Trust.

The procurement is complete and the award has been made to Conmed UK Ltd. The Trust used a direct award, citing Conmed’s exclusive distribution and supply agreement and its exclusive rights to maintain Conmed equipment in Northern Ireland. The award was dated 8 October 2026, with a gross value of £223,200 (£186,000 excluding tax). The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2032, with a possible extension in six-month steps up to 30 June 2037. The stated intention is to include the scope in a regional Northern Ireland Health and Social Care maintenance renewal, which could start on 1 January 2033; extension is to facilitate that re-tender or address non-award. One lot was completed. The award is recorded as pending, and a contract signature milestone was scheduled for 2 November 2026.

For suppliers considering comparable future maintenance work for Southern Health and Social Care Trust, credibility depends on specific technical capability to maintain Conmed advanced visualisation systems and authority to work on Conmed equipment in Northern Ireland. The award rationale makes the manufacturer’s exclusive maintenance rights central: a general medical-equipment maintenance provider without the relevant Conmed relationship would be poorly placed to meet this requirement. The work is a focused, specialist service supporting installed theatre-related technology, rather than a broad maintenance portfolio. Conmed UK Ltd, identified as an SME, was selected, showing that the requirement was delivered by a specialist supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large contractor. Suppliers should be able to evidence equipment-specific expertise and the right to service the systems, alongside capacity for sustained maintenance support.
