## Summary

The procurement process, overseen by Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, involves maintenance and validation services for theatres and High Dependency Unit verification at Southport & Ormskirk District General Hospitals. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically repair and maintenance services, and is tagged as 'award' and 'contract'. The process was initiated through a tender method below the threshold, with the contract awarded on 19 March 2026, and the service contract is active from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Located in Prescot, United Kingdom, the buying organisation is part of the central government public authority, and the tender was marked complete prior to the award.

This tender provides significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses specialising in maintenance and verification services within healthcare settings. Howorth Air Technology Limited, a small to medium enterprise (SME) based in Bolton, was awarded the contract, demonstrating the potential for SMEs in the repair and maintenance sector to secure public procurement contracts. Businesses that focus on healthcare technology and service provision might find similar tenders attractive for expanding their portfolios and gaining reputational advantages through successful government partnerships.
