Description

GHFT (Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) “the Authority” invites Bidders to respond to a Preliminary Market Engagement exercise for a Theatres Managed Equipment Service

GHFT is embarking on the re-procurement of its Theatres Managed Equipment Service (MES). The Trust currently operates a Theatres MES valued at approximately £25m per year, including equipment provision, theatre related consumables, sterile services, refurbishment, engineering support, specialist cleaning, waste management, and facilities maintenance across both Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and Cheltenham General Hospital.

As the development of the future service model and commercial strategy progresses, we are seeking valuable insight and expertise from suppliers with the capability to deliver a comprehensive Theatres MES, required to operate the surgical facilities across both sites, in addition to potential wider expansion across adjacent areas including interventional radiology, cardiology, endoscopy, and other areas

This Preliminary Market Engagement is being administered in line with PA23 procedures.
