Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust bought fully comprehensive servicing, maintenance and validation of its Steelco TW3000 washers at Brighton Hospital. The requirement covers all Steelco washer units at the hospital and concerns repair and maintenance of medical equipment. The service is intended to maintain the washers and carry out validation; the procurement description identifies the equipment as TW3000 washers. Delivery is at Brighton Hospital in Brighton. This is specialist healthcare equipment maintenance rather than a general facilities or building-maintenance contract, and is most relevant to suppliers able to service and validate Steelco washers used in a hospital setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to iM-MED Limited. The contract is active and was signed on 9 October 2026, with a contract value of £36,891.04. The procurement covered one lot for service and maintenance of all Steelco units at Brighton Hospital; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are recorded as active. The Trust used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, citing continuation of service. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded. The available contract information gives no contract start or end date, so the duration cannot be established from the stated outcome.

This award shows demand from University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust for ongoing, fully comprehensive servicing and validation of Steelco TW3000 washers at Brighton Hospital. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need demonstrable capability to maintain and validate these specific washers, cover all units at a hospital site, and provide continuity of service. The award went to a supplier through a limited procedure justified by continuation of service, so an established service relationship and ability to sustain support are commercially relevant features of the requirement. The recorded contract is modest in scale and focused on one hospital’s Steelco equipment, making it most relevant to specialist medical-equipment service providers with suitable technical capacity rather than suppliers offering broad, unrelated maintenance services.
