## Summary

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust procured servicing and maintenance for three mobile breast-screening units named Dolly, Kylie and Olivia. The work covers one C service and five B services per unit each year, supporting the continued operation of the Trust’s mobile breast-screening equipment. This is specialist medical-equipment maintenance, rather than the supply of screening equipment or a general facilities-maintenance service. The units are associated with the Trust’s services in Sussex; the procurement does not identify a specific delivery site. The requirement was treated as a single lot, covering the three named units together. The equipment-service category is medical-equipment repair and maintenance (CPV 50421000).

The procurement is complete and Lynton Trailers was selected for the contract. The award is recorded as pending. The award date was 28 September 2026; the contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 30 May 2031. The awarded value is £118,167 excluding VAT, or £141,800.40 including VAT. University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award, stating that an alternative supplier could not provide the appropriate level of service compared with the successful supplier. The contract covers one lot and the specified annual C and B services for each of the three units. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details.

This award indicates demand for recurring, planned maintenance of the Trust’s mobile breast-screening units, with multiple service visits required for each unit each year. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can maintain this specific type of medical equipment and provide the required C and B services consistently across all three units. The stated reason for selecting Lynton Trailers was that an alternative supplier could not provide an appropriate service level, making demonstrable technical capability and dependable maintenance delivery central to competing for a similar requirement. Suppliers whose work is limited to general vehicle or facilities maintenance may not be well matched unless they can evidence the relevant specialist servicing capability.
