Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for MRI injectors used in its hospitals. The requirement covers maintaining the medical equipment; no further service tasks or equipment quantities are described. The work relates to Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and its hospital estate in Gloucester and Cheltenham. This is a specialist medical-equipment maintenance requirement for suppliers able to service MRI injector systems in a hospital setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bayer plc. The Trust used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 29 March 2026 and runs from 30 March 2026 to 31 March 2031. Its value is £21,466 excluding VAT (£25,759.20 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the MRI injector maintenance requirement. No evaluation criteria are stated; the supplier was selected through the non-competitive route.

This award shows demand at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for ongoing maintenance of MRI injectors, rather than a general medical-equipment servicing package. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the technical capability and service capacity to maintain this specialist imaging equipment in a hospital environment, with the ability to support the Trust’s MRI operations over a multi-year arrangement. The award went to Bayer plc, a medical and life-sciences supplier. The procurement used a direct, non-competitive route, so suppliers should not assume that this award demonstrates an open competition or a published scoring model. The requirement is relevant to firms with MRI injector maintenance expertise and the organisational capacity to provide sustained service to an NHS hospital trust.
