## Summary

The procurement process, managed by the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in collaboration with the Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust, involved a Decontamination Service Agreement for managed decontamination services of reusable medical devices. This process was conducted under an open procedure within the services category, primarily concerning repair and maintenance services of medical and surgical equipment. The procurement, located in Sheffield, UK (region UKE32), reached the award stage as of 11th May 2026, with an anticipated contract period beginning on 2nd December 2027 and an optional three-year extension. The procurement was above the threshold, with bids submitted via the ATAMIS platform, and the award notice published in May 2026. Key dates included an enquiry period ending 26th September 2025 and a tender submission deadline by 13th October 2025.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in medical equipment decontamination and logistics.

The opportunity, valued at approximately £204 million gross, seeks competencies in efficient process handling, adherence to manufacturer reprocessing instructions, and reliable logistics support for medical devices. The contract's long duration and potential for extension make it particularly appealing for well-equipped, established businesses that can ensure compliance with NHS requirements and deliver high-quality technical and social value outcomes.
