Summary of the contracting process

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust procured clinical engineering test equipment for use in London. The requirement was for one ventilator and gas analyser, together with two patient simulators. This is a goods procurement in the field of checking and testing apparatus (CPV 38500000), supporting the testing, assessment and maintenance of medical equipment and patient-care technology. Delivery was associated with the Trust’s address in London, SE1 9RT. The buyer was Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS foundation trust. The equipment requirement is specialised rather than a general medical supplies purchase, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide ventilator and gas-analysis equipment alongside patient simulation systems as a coordinated clinical engineering supply.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold. Bids were due by 22 August 2024 at 12:00. The estimated value was £41,433.06, with a stated minimum value of £41,000, both in GBP. The contract was awarded to Ultramedic Ltd on 23 August 2024 for £41,000. The contract period ran from 23 August 2024 to 23 August 2025. The award was active. The requirement was treated as a single goods procurement rather than being divided into lots. The award outcome reflects a direct procurement route, not an open competition, and the published procurement information records Ultramedic Ltd as the selected supplier.

This award shows demand from a major London NHS foundation trust for specialised clinical engineering test equipment combining ventilator and gas-analysis capability with patient simulation. A credible future supplier would need the product range and technical understanding to supply and support equipment used to test medical devices and simulate patient conditions, with sufficient capacity to coordinate multiple equipment types in one requirement. Experience serving NHS or other healthcare engineering environments would help demonstrate familiarity with clinical safety, equipment assurance, installation and user support, although the procurement data does not identify specific accreditations or qualification requirements. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that comparable future requirements may favour established specialist suppliers with broader delivery capability.
