## Summary

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust commissioned calibration services for equipment used by the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. The requirement covers the calibration of equipment, delivered for the Trust in Birmingham. It is a specialist technical service rather than the supply of equipment or general facilities management. The procurement is classified as a service, with the relevant classification being calibration services. The named public-sector buyer is University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, whose address is at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in Edgbaston. The selected supplier, Diatec Diagnostics Ltd, is based in Birmingham and provides the contracted calibration service. The requirement is linked to the Trust’s hospital operations and to maintaining the accuracy and reliability of its equipment.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a waiver arrangement. Diatec Diagnostics Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 5 July 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2027. Its value is £11,122.80 excluding VAT, or £13,347.36 including VAT. The contract is active. The published procurement information identifies Diatec Diagnostics Ltd as the awarded supplier and records the requirement as a calibration service. The process therefore concluded with a direct, non-competitive award rather than an open tender or competitive selection exercise.

For calibration businesses, this award is evidence of a hospital trust buying a defined, specialist equipment-calibration service from an established provider. A credible competitor for comparable NHS requirements would need demonstrable capability to calibrate the equipment covered by the requirement, provide a dependable technical service and support the operational needs of a large acute hospital. The award also shows that a supplier based in Birmingham can serve this buyer locally. The direct-award route means the immediate procurement was not competed, but the requirement provides useful evidence of the Trust’s service demand and the type of specialist supplier it has used. Businesses with relevant calibration expertise, hospital-sector understanding and the capacity to deliver consistently should track similar requirements from this buyer.
