What the notice says
Revenue funded; Annual maintenance contract cover for the trust fleet of x50 Vapotherm devices used across children's hospital.
Vapotherm devices provide non-invasive, high-velocity respiratory support to spontaneously breathing patients in respiratory distress. They deliver heated, humidified oxygen through a comfortable nasal cannula rather than a tight-fitting mask. This therapy helps treat hypoxemia and hypercapnia by flushing anatomical dead space, reducing the work of breathing.
maintenance term; Start date: 01 April 2026 - End date: 31 March 2027
"This is for a maintenance contract renewal for high-risk medical devices used across the children’s hospital, that can only be serviced by the OEM.
The OEM do not offer maintenance via a framework and do not offer multiyear contracts.
Womens & Children’s CMG will fund via the accrued maintenance budget."
