## Summary

Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a 36-month support and maintenance contract for operating theatre lights to Starkstrom Limited. This direct award decision was based on Starkstrom's unique capabilities as the OEM, as no other suppliers could meet the technical requirements for maintaining light panels installed in 2013. The contract, valued at £40,091.65, will commence on 25th February 2026 and end on 6th February 2029, with a formal signature set for 16th February 2026. The procurement falls under the services category in Liverpool, UK, with the NHS trust operating as a public authority part of central government.

This procurement presents an opportunity for Starkstrom Limited to solidify its position within the healthcare service industry, especially given its specialised expertise in medical equipment repair and maintenance. The decision favours firms with unique technical capabilities, underscoring the importance of ongoing innovation and proprietary knowledge in maintaining competitive advantage. Companies that can develop similarly unique and essential service offerings are well-suited to seize growth opportunities in public sector contracts, particularly in specialised technical fields requiring OEM knowledge and training.

## Notice
