## Summary

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking an external supplier to service and test patient hoists, pool hoists and assisted bathing equipment, and to maintain them safely. This is a specialist medical-equipment maintenance service rather than a supply of new equipment. The buying trust is based in Sheffield. The procurement covers one lot; the work is intended for the Trust’s equipment. Suppliers should note that participation is reserved to organisations in South Yorkshire.

The Trust invited offers through an open competition. The deadline for questions was 16 November 2026 at 5pm, and the tender submission deadline was 30 November 2026 at noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 March 2027 to 1 March 2030, with two possible one-year extensions, potentially extending the term to 1 March 2032. The estimated value is £92,000 excluding VAT (£110,400 including VAT). The winning tender is determined by its overall score: technical quality carries 60%, commercial considerations 30% and social value 10%.

This requirement may suit small and medium-sized businesses, and participation is restricted to organisations in South Yorkshire. Bidders need to show the technical and professional ability to service and test patient hoists, pool hoists and assisted bathing equipment safely. They must also demonstrate relevant experience, adequate financial standing, and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The contract calls for a professional external supplier able to maintain this range of medical and bathing equipment over a multi-year term, including any extensions. The strongest bids will need to address the published technical, commercial and social-value criteria; technical quality has the greatest weighting.
