## Summary

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured trust-wide maintenance services for Hologic Fluent fluid systems. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment, with planned preventative maintenance visits carried out in line with the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule. The services are for the Trust’s facilities across its operating area, under a single maintenance requirement. Hologic LTD, a medical technology company, was selected to provide the service. This is specialist equipment maintenance rather than general facilities management, so the opportunity is most relevant to suppliers with direct knowledge of Hologic Fluent fluid systems, or the technical capability to maintain comparable clinical equipment safely and reliably in an NHS environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Hologic LTD received the award for the single lot. The award was made on 19 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 19 May 2028. Its value is £52,440 excluding VAT, or £65,328 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route, with the requirement focused on delivering the specified maintenance service for the Trust’s Hologic Fluent fluid systems. The contract is active, and its performance includes completion of all scheduled planned preventative maintenance visits within each agreed contract year, in accordance with the manufacturer’s service schedule.

This award demonstrates demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for specialist, manufacturer-aligned maintenance of Hologic Fluent fluid systems across its estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable technical competence in these systems, the ability to undertake planned preventative maintenance to the manufacturer’s recommended schedule, and reliable coverage for a trust-wide clinical equipment estate. Suppliers should also be able to plan and complete scheduled visits within each contract year, maintain service continuity, and support repair and maintenance work on medical and surgical equipment. The selected supplier’s capability is therefore centred on equipment-specific expertise, dependable field service delivery and the operational discipline needed to work safely in NHS healthcare settings.
