## Summary

West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust procured hardware maintenance for its HPE equipment. The requirement covers maintaining HPE kit and is classified under CPV 72000000, covering IT services including support. The buying organisation is the NHS foundation trust based at Trust HQ, Waterfront Business Park, Brierley Hill, West Midlands. Delivery is associated with Brierley Hill, DY5 1LX, and England. This is a technology support requirement rather than a general equipment purchase: relevant businesses are those able to maintain HPE hardware and provide dependable technical support for an NHS ambulance service organisation. The procurement was categorised as goods, although its described scope is hardware maintenance.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. TRUSTCO PLC. was selected as supplier. The award date was 28 August 2026, for GBP 149,016.80. The contract runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2027. The original tender deadline was 17 August 2026 at 12:00. The route was a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The award value is the same as the tender value. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier was awarded the requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates a defined requirement for HPE hardware maintenance within an NHS ambulance service environment. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability to maintain HPE equipment, diagnose and resolve hardware faults, and provide responsive technical support for operationally important systems. Experience of delivering structured support through a framework call-off would be relevant, as would the capacity to support an organisation based in Brierley Hill and serving the wider West Midlands. The scale of the requirement indicates a substantial, planned support engagement rather than an occasional repair. Larger established IT infrastructure maintenance providers are better placed than small or voluntary-sector organisations.
