## Summary

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust procured engineer servicing for the MAGNETOM Sola MRI system at St Margaret’s Hospital. This is specialist maintenance of medical imaging equipment, intended to keep the MRI system in service. The work is based at St Margaret’s Hospital; the Trust is the buying organisation. The requirement concerns engineering services for one named MRI system rather than general hospital engineering or a supply of imaging equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition, approved under its standing financial instructions. Siemens Healthcare Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 9 October 2026 to 31 December 2027. Its value is £15,024 excluding VAT (£18,028.80 including VAT). The stated award is for MRI engineer servicing; no separate award date is published in the process data.

This award demonstrates demand from the Trust for specialist engineering support for a Siemens MAGNETOM Sola MRI at St Margaret’s Hospital. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the technical capability to service and maintain that specific MRI platform, together with appropriately experienced imaging engineers and the capacity to provide support at the hospital. Siemens Healthcare Limited won through a direct award, so this outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation standard or show that a particular accreditation was required. Suppliers whose strengths are in unrelated medical equipment, general facilities maintenance or MRI equipment supply alone are less closely matched to the demonstrated requirement. The work is a focused, single-system service rather than a large, multi-site engineering programme.
