## Summary

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has successfully completed the procurement process for a 5-year OEM Premium Care maintenance contract for the Leica Proveo 8 surgical microscopes. The procurement was conducted through direct award, with the contract awarded to Leica Microsystems (UK) Limited as the sole capable supplier due to exclusive rights and technical specifications. Key services under the contract include preventative maintenance, unlimited repairs, OEM parts, and diagnostic support through RemoteCare monitoring. The contract period spans from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031, with a total gross value of £289,884, performed at multiple theatre locations across Lincolnshire, United Kingdom, marking the award stage of procurement completed on 17 March 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in high-end medical equipment maintenance and support, particularly those with a focus on original equipment manufacturing and technical expertise. Although the contract was awarded directly due to the exclusivity of services for the Leica Proveo 8 system, it underscores the demand for precision and OEM-level service provision in medical settings. Businesses engaged in healthcare technologies or seeking partnership potential in the UK public health sector could leverage similar opportunities by maintaining strong technical capabilities and exclusive rights to high-dependency equipment services.
