## Summary

The Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust has completed a direct procurement process for a maintenance contract of a SimNow Simulator, categorised under services related to the repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment. Located at Nottingham City Hospital, Hucknall Road, Nottingham, this contract was awarded to Intuitive Surgical Limited from Oxford. The procurement process concluded with the signing date on 27th March 2025, with the contract active since and set to run until 26th March 2029. This procurement was conducted below the threshold without competition under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54.

This contract presents opportunities particularly for businesses proficient in providing maintenance services for specialised medical equipment, potentially facilitating growth through partnerships with large public authorities like the NHS. While Intuitive Surgical Limited, a large-scale company, was ultimately awarded the contract, similar tenders could be suitable for SMEs and VCSEs that align with the stringent requirements and standards of working alongside central government public authorities. This contract demonstrates the potential for suppliers to establish long-term relationships through reliable service provision in the medical equipment maintenance industry.
