Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust bought maintenance services for its CVI system. The work covers four systems, identified by serial numbers 30035294, 30017551, 30016103 and 30008887, and falls within repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust in Liverpool. This is a focused equipment-maintenance requirement for the specified CVI systems, rather than a broad hospital maintenance contract. The service supports continued operation of the Trust’s cardiovascular imaging equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bracco UK Ltd. The Trust used a direct award below threshold without competition. One lot covered the maintenance requirement. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2027. Its value is £15,379.16 excluding VAT, or £18,454.99 including VAT. The recorded award is active. No evaluation criteria are stated for this direct award.

This award shows demand from Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for maintenance of its CVI systems, awarded directly to Bracco UK Ltd. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement when it returns to market would need credible experience maintaining cardiovascular imaging equipment and the technical capability to service the specific systems involved. The scope is concentrated on four identified systems, so relevant service expertise and the ability to support this equipment would be more pertinent than broad facilities-maintenance capacity. The Trust’s use of a below-threshold direct award also shows that this particular purchase was not competed.
