Case Study: Engineering Supplies for NHS Trust

  • Industry: Healthcare

Overview:

Hospitals operate around the clock, where even minor delays in maintenance or supply can have a direct impact on patient services and site safety. Leicester Bearings has supported NHS facilities for over 40 years, providing a reliable and responsive supply solution across multiple product categories.

Working closely with estates and maintenance teams, we ensure fast access to critical components, consumables, and site essentials—while also supporting urgent and non-standard requirements that fall outside typical procurement routes.

This case study highlights how our flexible, solutions-led approach helps reduce procurement complexity, improve responsiveness, and maintain operational continuity in environments where downtime is not an option.

Scope of Supply and Services

  • Drive belts and mechanical components
  • Tools and site equipment
  • Branded workwear and clothing (including NHS branding)
  • Maintenance sprays and lubricants
  • Fasteners and fixings
  • Spill control equipment
  • Winter products such as salt and site safety materials

Results & Impact

  1. Reduced Procurement Complexity
    Multiple product categories managed through a single supply partner.
  2. Faster Access to Hard-to-Source Items
    When unusual items are required, Leicester Bearings takes ownership of the sourcing process.
  3. Operational Continuity
    Reliable supply ensures hospitals remain functional, safe, and compliant.
  4. Long-Term Trusted Relationship
    A partnership built on consistency, responsiveness, and problem-solving.

Client Feedback

““I have worked with Leicester Bearings for the last 27 years, they have always gone above and beyond, especially when supplying unusual items which other suppliers could not supply in order to keep the hospitals functioning.””
– Richard Kirton
