Summary of the contracting process

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured a service agreement for a JEM1400 electron microscope. The requirement is maintenance and repair of medical and surgical equipment, specifically the identified JEM1400 microscope. The buyer is based in Fazakerley, Liverpool.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Jeol UK Ltd. It was directly awarded without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from that date to 30 September 2027. Its value is £17,230.13 excluding VAT (£20,676.16 including VAT). The procurement comprised one lot.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible suppliers would need to demonstrate the technical expertise and service capacity to maintain and repair a JEM1400 electron microscope, with experience relevant to specialist medical equipment. The award shows that the buyer procures a focused service agreement for a specific instrument, rather than a broad equipment-maintenance contract.
