In plain English

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust wants to hire an outside company to service and test its patient lifting equipment. This covers hoists that lift patients, hoists used for pools, and equipment that helps patients bathe. The estimated contract value is £92,000.

What the buyer wants

• Safe maintenance and servicing of patient hoists, pool hoists and assisted bathing equipment • Testing of this equipment, as described in the notice title • Work carried out by a professional external supplier, not the Trust's own staff

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice asks for a professional external supplier to carry out safety-critical servicing on patient equipment, so a small business that cannot show professional competence in this work is unlikely to be considered, although the notice does not name any specific qualifications or thresholds.

Always check the tender documents.
