Built for the NHS

Extra capacity for stretched EBME and estates teams

High patient volumes and tight budgets need equipment that stays in service and a contractor that's easy to work with.

Clear, itemised pricing

We quote for the specific equipment to be serviced or repaired before a contract is raised, with no hidden costs, which makes procurement simple.

Full audit trail

Every asset barcoded, with electronic reports and updated asset lists after every visit to support your governance and audit requirements.

Safety alerts monitored

Our management team monitors the MHRA and manufacturers for device alerts and safety updates that affect the equipment we service.

A trusted servicing partner for the NHS

Shepherd has over 40 years' experience supplying and servicing equipment for the NHS. We understand the pressure on public healthcare: high patient volumes, tight budgets and equipment that has to stay in service.

We provide bespoke service and maintenance contracts for the high-volume equipment every trust relies on, including beds, trolleys, chairs, couches and patient-handling equipment, so your in-house teams can focus on specialist devices.

Contracts that suit NHS procurement

  • Itemised quotations for the specific equipment to be serviced or repaired, before any contract is raised
  • Flexible frequencies: quarterly, six-monthly or annual, per asset type
  • No hidden costs and clear repair quotes for anything outside the contract
  • A designated point of contact for scheduling, repairs and technical questions

Quality and safety you can evidence

All Shepherd staff are DBS-checked, carry identification and wear our standard uniform. Engineers follow a continual professional development policy, work is regularly checked by senior managers, and we only fit authentic parts from the original manufacturer or a recommended producer. With asset tagging, you get a full electronic history for every item to support audits and governance.

Start with a site survey

We'll visit, record your equipment and current servicing, and show you where we can add capacity or reduce costs. There's no charge and no obligation.
