Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust procured services for the hire and decontamination of pressure area care equipment for acute and community healthcare settings. The requirement centres on pressure-relieving mattresses and associated equipment used to support patients at risk of pressure damage. Delivery is in Manchester, at the Trust’s Oxford Road site and across the North West. This is a healthcare equipment rental and specialist decontamination requirement rather than a purchase of general hospital supplies. Businesses operating in pressure area care, medical equipment hire, equipment cleaning and decontamination, or related NHS clinical support services will find the subject relevant. The buyer is Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, serving acute and community healthcare needs in the Manchester area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective restricted procedure above the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 21 November 2024 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was £10,000,000. Talley Group – A Direct Healthcare Group Company was awarded the contract on 8 August 2025 for £8,160,650. The contract period runs from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2030. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as a services contract, with pressure area care mattresses as the principal classification. Participation was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available information does not set out the detailed scoring criteria.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates sustained NHS demand for pressure area care equipment delivered through a managed hire and decontamination service. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to pressure-relieving mattresses and related equipment, the operational capacity to deploy and recover units across acute and community settings, and robust processes for cleaning, decontamination, inspection, maintenance and turnaround. Experience supporting clinical environments would be important, including reliable logistics, equipment availability, responsive servicing and the ability to manage patient-use equipment safely. Suppliers should also be able to work at the scale expected by a large NHS foundation trust and demonstrate consistent service performance across Manchester and the wider North West.
