## Summary

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust procured a specialist maintenance service for phantoms used in oncology imaging. The requirement relates to maintaining these phantoms and was delivered for the Trust’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham site in Edgbaston. Phantoms are equipment or test objects used to support imaging performance checks, quality assurance and system testing, so this requirement is relevant to suppliers providing maintenance, servicing or technical support for oncology imaging quality-assurance equipment. The procurement was associated with Oncology Imaging Systems, an East Sussex-based supplier. The work is categorised under contract administration services, although the stated operational requirement is the maintenance of oncology imaging phantoms for the University Hospitals Birmingham clinical environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Oncology Imaging Systems. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under a waiver arrangement. One lot was completed and the award is active. The contract was signed on 31 May 2026 and covers 1 June to 1 July 2026. Its value is £53,969.30 excluding VAT, or £64,763.16 including VAT. The published classification is contract administration services. The outcome shows that the Trust selected the named specialist supplier for the phantom maintenance requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the published outcome does not set out a comparative scoring basis or competing bids.

This procurement is commercially relevant to established suppliers with specialist capability in maintaining phantoms used for oncology imaging, quality assurance and equipment performance testing. A credible competitor would need to understand the technical requirements of imaging phantoms, provide dependable maintenance support and work within a hospital environment. The awarded supplier’s position shows that the buyer accepted a specialist service provider for this defined requirement, rather than a general facilities or administrative contractor. Suppliers seeking comparable work from University Hospitals Birmingham should be able to demonstrate practical knowledge of oncology imaging support, clear service arrangements, suitable technical resources and the capacity to respond to a short, focused maintenance requirement. Experience supporting NHS or clinical imaging services would strengthen credibility when this buyer’s need is next reviewed.
