Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust procured complete care cover for its FX8 and FT10 diathermy equipment. The requirement is a medical-equipment servicing contract, covering maintenance and repair support for these devices. The work relates to the Trust’s equipment in Gloucestershire. This is a focused requirement for suppliers able to support the specified diathermy models, rather than a general healthcare or medical equipment supply contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. Medtronic Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2031. Its value is £19,000 excluding VAT (£22,800 including VAT). The contract covers complete care for the FX8 and FT10 diathermy equipment. The procurement information does not state separate evaluation criteria; the award was made without a competitive process.

For suppliers seeking to compete for this Trust’s requirement in future, credibility will depend on the ability to provide complete care cover for FX8 and FT10 diathermy equipment, including the maintenance and repair services associated with medical equipment. Experience supporting these specific models and the technical capability to maintain and repair them would be directly relevant. The selected supplier, Medtronic Limited, indicates that a specialist medical-technology provider can meet the requirement. This is a focused, relatively modest-scale service opportunity for firms able to support the Trust’s equipment over a multi-year period; a supplier whose offer is limited to general equipment supply or unrelated clinical services would be less closely aligned.
