## Summary

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH NHS FT) has awarded a contract for the trustwide and outreach calibration of audiology testing equipment across six sites. The procurement falls under the services category and is directed by a procurement method of direct award due to only one supplier, Guymark UK Ltd, meeting the required UKAS accreditation standard. Located in London, the contract period extends from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2031, with the most recent milestone being scheduled for signature by 27th March 2026. This contract, primarily classified under repair and maintenance services of testing apparatus, reflects a shift from a below-threshold tender approach to a direct award, reacting to a breach in central government thresholds for goods and services.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses involved in calibration services, especially those with UKAS accreditation, to engage in long-term partnerships with the public sector and bolster their research and development portfolios. Companies like small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which specialise in service delivery and have a history in similar healthcare projects, are well-suited to participate. Given the direct award nature of this contract, it presents a unique chance for niche providers to solidify their market presence through governmental collaboration, strengthening capabilities and fostering growth within specialised calibration services for audiology equipment. The engagement with UCLH NHS FT also offers potential ongoing supplier recognition within the healthcare industry.
