## Summary

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for two micromanipulation systems and RI witnessing equipment. The work is repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment, supporting the continued operation of specialist hospital equipment. Delivery is in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The named equipment and the focus on maintaining existing systems make this relevant to suppliers with experience servicing micromanipulation and related witnessing equipment for healthcare organisations.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Origio Ltd (CooperSurgical). The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The single lot was awarded, and the contract was signed on 20 October 2026. Its value is £12,834.87. The contract runs from 20 October 2026 to 8 October 2029. The published award data identifies the service category and equipment but does not state evaluation criteria; the award was made without a competitive process.

This award demonstrates demand from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals for specialist maintenance of micromanipulation systems and associated witnessing equipment. A credible competitor for similar work would need the technical capability to maintain these specific types of medical equipment, together with the service capacity to support a hospital’s operational requirements over a multi-year arrangement. Origio Ltd (CooperSurgical), a large supplier, was selected through a direct award without competition, so this outcome offers no evidence of a competitive scoring model or price-quality balance. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide equivalent specialist equipment support to this Trust and establish a credible route to future consideration.
