## Summary

Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust bought maintenance services provided by Stryker UK Ltd for its healthcare operations. The requirement is described as a maintenance contract, with the associated classification covering contract administration services. Work is delivered for the Trust in Birmingham, with procurement managed through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative hosted by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. The collaborative provides shared procurement services for multiple NHS trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull integrated care system. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers providing maintenance arrangements and related contract administration for NHS or other healthcare organisations, particularly those able to support equipment or services used in a hospital environment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Stryker UK Ltd on 31 May 2026. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a waiver arrangement. The single lot is complete. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027 and was signed on 31 May 2026. Its value is £10,017.85 excluding VAT, or £12,021.42 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published evaluation route was a direct, non-competitive award rather than a scored tender. The named supplier is Stryker UK Ltd, a large UK company, and the procurement category is services.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust buying a defined maintenance service through a direct, below-threshold route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established maintenance service capable of supporting NHS healthcare operations, together with dependable contract administration and the capacity to manage delivery over a full annual service period. Experience working with hospital trusts, understanding of healthcare operational constraints and the ability to provide responsive, well-controlled maintenance arrangements would strengthen a supplier's position. Larger specialist providers may be well placed where the requirement depends on manufacturer-linked expertise, although the award itself does not set out specific accreditations or technical qualifications.
