## Summary

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust bought five years of servicing and maintenance for its three mobile breast screening units, Dolly, Kylie and Olivia. The work covers maintenance of the mobile units’ X-ray equipment, supporting the Trust’s breast screening service. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust; the named units are the equipment covered by the requirement. The procurement is for specialist equipment maintenance services rather than the supply of new screening equipment or general vehicle servicing.

The procurement was awarded directly to Lynton Trailers, with the award dated 31 May 2026. The stated reason for using a direct award was that an alternative supplier could not provide the appropriate level of service compared with the successful supplier. The award value was £118,167 excluding VAT (£141,800.40 including VAT). The award set a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2031. The contract is recorded as cancelled on 28 September 2026, with the status detail saying the workplan was abandoned. The procurement covered one lot; the award itself is recorded as active.

For suppliers considering similar NHS requirements, this award shows demand for ongoing specialist maintenance of mobile breast-screening X-ray equipment across multiple named units. Credibility depends on being able to service the specific equipment and provide a consistent level of technical support over a multi-year arrangement. The buyer’s stated justification for selecting Lynton Trailers was that an alternative supplier could not provide an equivalent level of service, indicating that relevant equipment expertise and demonstrable service capability mattered in the decision. Firms able to maintain screening equipment in a mobile clinical setting, support several units and sustain service over an extended period would be better placed to compete if this requirement returns to market.
