## Summary

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured a five-year maintenance service for Bracco Protocol CO2 insufflators used at Southend and Broomfield. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance and servicing of medical and surgical equipment, supporting the reliable operation of these insufflation systems in NHS clinical settings. The buyer is Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, based in Basildon. The procurement is for services rather than equipment supply, replacement or installation. It is focused on Bracco Protocol CO2 insufflators and their manufacturer-recommended maintenance requirements, so it is most relevant to suppliers with specific experience maintaining this type of specialist medical device and working with NHS trusts or comparable healthcare organisations.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. The tender had one completed lot. BRACCO UK LIMITED was awarded the contract on 19 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 9 July 2031. Its value is £25,099.05 excluding VAT, or £30,118.86 including VAT. Evaluation details recorded for the award are limited to the competitive procedure and the service requirement. Contract performance includes completing all scheduled planned preventative maintenance visits in line with the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule, with visits completed within the agreed contract year.

This award demonstrates an established NHS requirement for specialist maintenance of Bracco Protocol CO2 insufflators across Southend and Broomfield. A credible future competitor would need technical capability in the repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment, with particular familiarity with Bracco Protocol insufflation systems. The requirement favours suppliers able to deliver planned preventative maintenance reliably over a multi-year service arrangement, follow the manufacturer’s recommended schedule and evidence completion of visits within each contract year. Relevant NHS or healthcare-service experience, sufficient field-service capacity for the two locations and the ability to manage scheduled maintenance records would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next tests the requirement.
