Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust bought one SLE6000 infant ventilator as a capital replacement for the Special Care Baby Unit at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, specifically neonatal ventilation equipment (CPV 39714100). The purchase is a one-off replacement rather than a stated programme of ongoing supply or servicing. The ventilator is intended for clinical use in the hospital’s special care baby unit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 October 2026 to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited. The award value was £40,003.97. The stated contract period runs from 1 October to 1 November 2026. The requirement was placed as a call-off from an NHS Supply Chain framework covering anaesthesia machines, ventilators, neonatal equipment and phototherapy systems, related accessories and services, using a selective procurement route. This was a single purchase, with no lots identified. The tender’s estimated value range was £33,336.64 to £40,003.97. The published information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or specific supplier eligibility conditions.

This award demonstrates demand from University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust for replacement neonatal ventilation equipment for its special care baby unit. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide an SLE6000 infant ventilator, or equipment meeting the buyer’s clinical and technical needs, and be positioned to supply through the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework route. The selected supplier was NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited, indicating that framework access and the ability to fulfil a focused hospital equipment purchase are commercially important. The opportunity is a single capital equipment replacement rather than a large multi-lot programme; credible suppliers should be able to supply and deliver specialist neonatal equipment for clinical use in a hospital setting.
