Summary of the contracting process

NHS Ayrshire & Arran commissioned a fully inclusive service contract for a low-temperature steriliser and an ultrasonic washer. The requirement covers servicing and maintenance of this decontamination equipment under NP18724, the relevant purchasing arrangement. The work is classified as a service for medical or healthcare equipment and is delivered across Ayrshire and Arran. The buyer is NHS Ayrshire & Arran, serving healthcare facilities in the area. This opportunity is relevant to businesses that provide comprehensive maintenance, servicing and support for low-temperature sterilisation systems and ultrasonic washers, particularly suppliers familiar with equipment used in NHS decontamination operations. The requirement concerns one service package covering both types of equipment rather than separate purchases of goods or construction works.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. NHS Ayrshire & Arran used a limited procedure and made a direct award without prior publication of a competition, using NP18724 Decontamination Consumables and Maintenance. STERIS Ltd was selected for the single service package. The contract value is £64,185 excluding any further amounts not recorded here, in GBP. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by an SME. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the applicable directive and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender and lot are complete. No separate contract duration or service end date is stated in the procurement outcome.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear example of NHS Ayrshire & Arran’s demand for specialist decontamination-equipment support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to service both low-temperature sterilisers and ultrasonic washers, provide a fully inclusive maintenance offer, and understand the operational needs of healthcare environments across Ayrshire and Arran. Familiarity with NP18724 or an equivalent purchasing route would help a supplier compete through the buyer’s chosen procurement channel. The award also indicates that a focused specialist business can be relevant: the recorded bid was from an SME. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable equipment-maintenance capability across a complete service package, rather than offering only consumables, isolated repairs or general facilities maintenance.
