## Summary

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance for an X-ray machine, asset 136296, supplied by AGFA Healthcare Ltd. The service concerns upkeep of this specific imaging machine. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust’s Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative managed the procurement on behalf of trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System. The machine and maintenance work are associated with the buying trust in Birmingham. This is a focused medical-equipment maintenance requirement rather than a wider supply of imaging equipment or general hospital maintenance.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to AGFA Healthcare Ltd. The Trust used a below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 19 August 2026 to 18 August 2027. Its value is £37,258.68 excluding VAT, or £44,710.42 including VAT. There was one lot, covering maintenance of the specified X-ray machine. The published award information does not set out evaluation criteria; the route was a direct award rather than a competitive evaluation. The contract is active, and AGFA Healthcare Ltd is the selected supplier.

This award shows a requirement for specialist maintenance of an identified X-ray machine, met by the equipment supplier, AGFA Healthcare Ltd. Suppliers considering comparable work for Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust should be able to demonstrate practical capability to maintain the relevant imaging asset and deliver reliable servicing for a hospital environment. Familiarity with the machine and access to the appropriate parts, technical knowledge and support arrangements would be commercially relevant. The procurement was made directly without competition, so the award also indicates that this requirement was not tested through an open contest. For the requirement to be credible when it next returns to market, a supplier would need to show it can maintain this specific equipment and meet the Trust’s operational needs.
