Summary of the contracting process

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust bought Samsung A17 handheld devices for the Teletracking Project. The requirement is for goods: hands-free mobile telephones (CPV 32252100) supplied for use by the Humber Health Partnership. Delivery is associated with Hull Royal Infirmary in Kingston upon Hull. The devices are intended to support the project’s operational communications and tracking needs. The named buying organisation is Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based at Hull Royal Infirmary, Anlaby Road, Kingston upon Hull. The procurement concerns a specific Samsung handset model rather than a general mobile communications service, so it is most relevant to suppliers of mobile devices, healthcare technology hardware or related equipment distribution.

This procurement has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from the Tech Devices Link 4 framework, rather than an open standalone tender. The submission deadline was 11 March 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Softcat plc on 20 March 2026 for GBP 110,843.48. The awarded contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 1 April 2026. The procurement is recorded as complete, with the award active. The published process identifies Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as the buyer and Softcat plc as the selected supplier. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This requirement indicates demand from Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for standardised Samsung handheld devices supporting a healthcare teletracking operation. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would be mobile-device distributors, public-sector technology resellers and IT hardware specialists able to source and supply Samsung A17 handsets consistently, manage a device order for a health partnership and work through an established technology framework call-off route. Credibility would come from dependable fulfilment, product knowledge, stock and logistics capacity, and the ability to handle public-sector purchasing requirements. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist resellers with framework access and relevant device supply capability may also be well positioned.
