## Summary

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust is buying maintenance and repair services for four SUSy stereotactic systems. The six-year service requirement covers specialist medical and precision equipment used by the Trust. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the buyer is based in Liverpool. The systems’ high-risk nature and the specialist maintenance requirement make this a focused equipment-servicing contract rather than a general medical equipment maintenance package.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award to INOMED NEUROCARE LIMITED. The award date was not stated. The awarded value is £143,640 excluding VAT (£172,368 including VAT). The service contract runs from 14 October 2026 to 30 September 2032. There was one lot, marked as suitable for SMEs. The Trust justified a direct award on the basis that only the original equipment manufacturer can maintain the systems, citing their high-risk nature, the absence of third-party options and no active framework agreement. The award is recorded as pending.

For suppliers assessing future demand from The Walton Centre, this award shows a recurring need for long-term maintenance of four SUSy stereotactic systems. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate original-equipment-manufacturer status or equivalent exclusive authority to service the equipment, alongside the technical expertise and controls needed for high-risk specialist medical systems. The procurement was not treated as a general maintenance opportunity: the Trust’s rationale rules out third-party service options. Although the single lot was identified as suitable for SMEs, firms would need the specific manufacturer-backed capability to compete credibly. Suppliers offering broader medical equipment repair without that equipment-specific authorisation are unlikely to match the stated basis for selection.

## Notice
