## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured an annual planned preventative maintenance service for theatre operating lights and emergency battery units. The requirement covers servicing and maintaining specialist electrical equipment used in theatre environments, with the purpose of keeping operating lights and emergency power units reliable and available for clinical use. The buyer is based at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, and delivery is in Somerset. The work falls within repair and maintenance services for electrical and mechanical building installations (CPV 50710000). This is a single-service requirement, awarded to Fulbourn Medical Limited, an SME based in Huntingdon. Suppliers with relevant healthcare maintenance capability, particularly experience supporting theatre lighting and emergency battery systems, would be aligned with the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Fulbourn Medical Limited. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 23 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £11,836 excluding VAT and £14,203.20 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. There was one lot covering the full requirement. The published outcome identifies the service as electrical and mechanical installation maintenance. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive assessment of tenders. The contracting authority is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for planned maintenance of theatre operating lights and emergency battery units at hospital scale, delivered through a direct below-threshold route. A credible future supplier would need practical competence in servicing electrical equipment and emergency power systems, with the ability to support theatre environments where equipment reliability is important to clinical operations. Relevant experience maintaining operating-theatre lighting, battery-backed units and associated building services would help demonstrate fit. Suppliers should also be able to provide a dependable planned preventative maintenance service, coordinate access around hospital activity and respond appropriately to equipment faults. Fulbourn Medical Limited’s SME status shows that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than only by a major national contractor.
