Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care in the United Kingdom has completed a tender process for the purchase of mechanical ventilators, a critical need due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The procurement, valued at £135,475,000, utilised a limited method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The contract period commenced and concluded on 6 April 2020, with the procurement process initiated prior to this date. The relevant classification for this tender falls under the category of 'Ventilators' (CPV code: 39714100), and the deliveries were to various locations, including the United Kingdom and other overseas territories.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the healthcare equipment sector, particularly those manufacturing or supplying medical devices and technology. Companies with the capacity to deliver mechanical ventilators, especially those that can meet urgent national healthcare needs, would be well-suited to explore similar public procurement opportunities. The limited procurement method indicates that the process was selective, potentially favouring established suppliers who can demonstrate reliability and the capability to fulfil large-scale orders quickly.
