Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a mechanical chest compression device upgrade for its Autopulse equipment, including associated Autopulse maintenance. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, rather than a general clinical service or construction project. The buying organisation is Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Gloucester. Delivery is required in England, including the location identified by postcode B62 8HZ. The requirement is categorised as goods and concerns medical equipment. It is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers able to provide Autopulse mechanical chest compression device upgrades and maintenance for an NHS hospital trust. The scope indicates a focus on upgrading existing equipment and supporting its continued operation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Zoll Medical UK Limited on 31 July 2026 for £16,377.03 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 1 March 2027. Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and the tender status is complete. There was one recorded supplier award, covering the Autopulse mechanical chest compression device upgrade and maintenance requirement. The procurement category is goods.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS hospital trust for specialist upgrades and maintenance of Autopulse mechanical chest compression devices. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need direct capability in mechanical chest compression equipment, including the supply or delivery of Autopulse upgrades and the technical ability to maintain existing devices. Relevant suppliers are likely to be medical equipment manufacturers, authorised UK distributors, framework providers or specialist service businesses with an established NHS-facing delivery model. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms with the necessary product knowledge, support capacity and framework access could compete with larger suppliers. Experience supporting safety-critical clinical equipment and providing dependable maintenance would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next reviews the same need.
