Although the tender followed a direct method without open competition, businesses that can demonstrate expertise in such specialised equipment maintenance may find potential partnering opportunities in similar future projects. Large-scale suppliers with established capabilities in medical equipment maintenance, such as P&A Medical, who are the awardees, are particularly well-poised to fulfil the requirements of such contracts. The partnership with a large public sector entity like the Greater Manchester Combined Authority can significantly bolster a supplier's reputation and open the door to further similar undertakings in the public sector.
