## Summary

NHS Highland, based in Inverness, has completed the award stage for the "HH038-25-TW33 Full Pulmonary Function System Service & Maintenance" contract. This contract focuses on the health industry category, specifically for maintenance services within Raigmore Hospital's Respiratory Physiology department. The procurement method was limited, involving a direct award procedure without a prior call for competition, as it had specialised requirements necessitating expertise only available from the original equipment manufacturer. This seven-year service contract with Vitalograph Ltd, signed on 9th December 2025, is valued at £68,082 and aims to ensure continuous operational efficiency and cost-effective maintenance for the specialised medical equipment.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for established businesses in the health services sector, particularly those skilled in servicing and maintaining complex medical equipment. However, the direct award to Vitalograph Ltd highlights the significance of possessing unique technical expertise to meet specific healthcare requirements. Businesses aiming to compete in similar tenders might benefit from enhancing their skill sets and certifications in niche medical technologies or establishing partnerships with original equipment manufacturers to broaden their service offerings.

## Notice

7-year fully comprehensive service contract to cover the following equipment: - 1x VitaloLAB - Full PFT System with PC and Trolley - 1x VitaloQUB - 2x 3-Litre Precision Syringes - 5x Pneumotrac Spirometers - Software Application Support All equipment is based in Respiratory Physiology at Raigmore Hospital.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The equipment can only be serviced/maintained by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Therefore it is appropriate to use this supplier as they have the expertise required to service/maintain the equipment.

### Procurement Information

This service contract is required to ensure continuity of service for the respiratory physiology service. The OEM has the expertise necessary to service/maintain the equipment and no other supplier would be able to undertake this work. Quotations were acquired from the OEM with discounts requested for multiyear deals and multiple assets to ensure the best value for money for the board. If a service contract is not in place and in the event of equipment failure, there would be an impact on service provision during equipment downtime and the board would incur repair costs that could have been covered by a contract.
