Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought an additional set of portering chairs for its hospital operations in Bradford. The purchase responds to a reduction in the existing chair fleet caused by age and maintenance costs. This is a goods requirement for supplying hospital portering equipment, rather than a service, construction or software project. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site on Duckworth Lane, Bradford, postcode BD9 6RJ. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, medical equipment suppliers and specialist distributors able to provide portering chairs for use in a hospital environment. The buyer is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which uses the equipment to maintain its portering capacity after part of the existing fleet became uneconomic or impractical to retain.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust selected Hospital Metalcraft Limited on 14 November 2025. The awarded value was £13,936.50 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract ran from 24 November 2025 to 23 December 2025. The tender submission deadline was 23 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The route was a selective procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender’s estimated value was also £13,936.50. The contracting process concerned one goods requirement for portering chairs, and the award is recorded as active. No separate lots or additional awarded suppliers are identified.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of the Trust’s purchasing requirement and the type of supplier that secured it. Hospital Metalcraft Limited, identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected to supply the portering chairs. Businesses considering future requirements from this buyer would need credible capability in hospital furniture or medical equipment, with a product suitable for patient and equipment movement within a hospital. Relevant suppliers are likely to include manufacturers, framework-appointed distributors and specialist resellers able to provide replacement or additional chairs in response to fleet condition and maintenance pressures. Framework access is commercially important because this purchase used a framework call-off rather than a standalone open procedure.
