MRI Managed Equipment Service (Lot 1 and 2)

The South West London Procurement Partnership, on behalf of Croydon Health Services NHS Trust, has initiated a tender process for an MRI Managed Equipment Service. This project is vital for the ongoing support and maintenance of three MRI machines, as well as the hard facilities management of the associated building. The procurement process falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of medical equipment and health services, with a significant gross value of approximately £5.13 million GBP.

Located in Croydon, the project is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and will run for six years, with options for extension. The current stage of procurement is active, with an open procedure method slated for completion of tender submissions by 10th November 2025, and awards to be finalised by 28th January 2026. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in maintenance and facilities management within the healthcare sector, especially those SMEs that can deliver high-quality technical solutions.

With the contract split into two lots, businesses can tender for either MRI equipment maintenance or hard facilities management, both integral services requiring technical expertise. The prospect of a six-year contract, possibly extendable by two years, provides a stable growth opportunity for companies, allowing them to cultivate long-term partnerships with the NHS Trust. This tender particularly encourages participation from SMEs that can meet the comprehensive technical and commercial criteria outlined, promising an innovative approach to healthcare support services.
