## Summary

Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust is planning a maintenance service for its two Quantel Medical Easyret 577nm fibre lasers, used for ophthalmology. The requirement covers equipment maintenance and the Trust prefers fully comprehensive cover, together with IT and integration support and original equipment manufacturer parts. The work is for the Trust in Reading, Berkshire. Suppliers should have the ability to maintain this specific laser equipment and support its technical integration within the Trust’s systems. This is a specialist medical equipment servicing requirement, rather than a purchase of new lasers or a general ophthalmology equipment supply contract.

The procurement is at the planning stage: the Trust has signalled its intention to buy the service and is conducting preliminary market engagement; this is not an invitation to tender. The Trust expects a multi-year contract, with an intended term from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029 and a possible extension to 31 December 2031. The estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The Trust expects to publish a further notice on 16 November 2026. Interested suppliers are asked to register by 4 November 2026 and then complete a questionnaire to confirm interest. The planned procurement is one lot, with no procedure or evaluation basis set out at this stage.

This requirement is most relevant to specialist medical equipment service providers with proven capability to maintain Quantel Medical Easyret 577nm fibre lasers. Suppliers able to offer comprehensive maintenance cover, provide original equipment manufacturer parts and deliver IT and integration support are particularly aligned with the Trust’s stated preference. The multi-year arrangement may suit firms able to provide continuity of technical support and service across the equipment’s operating life. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable, so the work is not presented as restricted to large suppliers. The planned engagement and questionnaire offer a route for capable organisations to inform the Trust’s preparation and confirm their interest before a formal competition is issued.
