## Summary

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust bought maintenance for its RetCam Envision asset, identified as asset 139755. The service is provided by Birmingham Optical Ltd. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust managed the procurement through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, a shared procurement service acting for multiple trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System. The buying organisation is based in Birmingham, where the maintenance requirement relates to the trust’s equipment. This is a specialist maintenance requirement for a named ophthalmic imaging system, rather than a general equipment servicing contract. Suppliers working in maintenance and support of RetCam Envision systems are the closest match to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Birmingham Optical Ltd was selected through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 7 August 2025 and runs from 8 August 2025 to 7 August 2027. Its stated value is £14,495 excluding VAT and £17,394 including VAT. The process covered one lot. The award record classifies the service using CPV 79994000, a code for contract administration services, although the stated requirement is maintenance of the RetCam Envision asset. No award evaluation criteria are recorded. The published contract value is the contract value, not a separate award value.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides evidence that Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust purchases maintenance for a specific RetCam Envision asset. The successful supplier was Birmingham Optical Ltd, indicating that relevant equipment-specific servicing capability is central to competing credibly for this requirement. Suppliers should be able to maintain and support the named system and demonstrate they can service the trust’s asset reliably. The procurement was handled by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust’s shared procurement service on behalf of trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System, so suppliers seeking similar work should be equipped to engage with a collaborative NHS procurement function. The contract represents a focused, single-asset maintenance requirement rather than a broad equipment maintenance programme.
