## Summary

The ST HELENS & KNOWSLEY TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS TRUST has recently completed a tender for the "Preventative Maintenance Service Contract for 21 Pathology Items," a service agreement valued at £22,522. This contract provides preventive maintenance for 21 laboratory instruments located in the North West of England. The procurement process followed the "Other - Waiver" method, with the contract period running from 1 November 2018 to 31 October 2019. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 31 October 2018 and the award date of 31 October 2019, with the award publicly announced on 19 December 2019.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialised in preventive maintenance services, particularly in the healthcare sector. Businesses that possess experience with medical laboratory equipment maintenance would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The complete and active nature of prior contracts with suppliers such as THERMO FISHER DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED demonstrates a competitive landscape where established providers may also welcome partnerships or sub-contracting arrangements to fulfil service obligations.
