## Summary

The procurement process, awarded by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, focuses on the contract for maintenance of Fresenius Kabi CATSmart systems. This award, valued at £86,555.89, is for repair and maintenance services of medical and surgical equipment in the East Midlands region, specifically Nottinghamshire. The contract covers the period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with the procurement method noted as 'Other'. The award stage was completed with an active status as of 3rd June 2026, and the awarded supplier is Fresenius Medical Care (UK) Limited.

This tender presents growth opportunities in the specialised medical equipment maintenance sector, particularly suitable for large-scale businesses capable of providing bespoke service offerings. As the contract involves proprietary equipment not covered by national procurement frameworks, businesses with niche expertise and capabilities in handling OEM requirements would find this appealing. Such businesses can leverage their technical competence and exclusivity in providing the necessary maintenance services required by the NHS in this specialised domain.

## Notice

Maintenance Contract for the care of 14 CATSmart Blood-processing autotransfusion systems. Maintenance is only available from the supplier as they are the OEM and the only provider of service, spare parts and software upgrades. They are not on any national procurement frameworks.
