Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured maintenance, repair and replacement parts for profiling beds, pressure care mattresses, bed rails and associated occupational therapy equipment supplied by Drive DeVilbiss. The requirement covers medical and surgical equipment repair and maintenance, including keeping this equipment operational and replacing parts where needed. Delivery and service activity is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the practical requirement is a specialist equipment maintenance and repair service supported by replacement components. The named equipment is supplied by Drive DeVilbiss, so relevant businesses would need familiarity with that manufacturer’s products and the types of beds, mattresses, rails and associated equipment used in care settings.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 March 2026 following an open procedure below the threshold. The tender submission deadline was 1 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period runs from 6 March 2026 to 6 March 2029 and has an awarded value of £90,000. Drive Devilbiss Health Care was selected as the supplier for the full requirement. The opportunity was assessed through the open procedure, with the available procurement information identifying the requirement and its supplier but no separate award weighting or evaluation breakdown. Nottingham City Council is the buying organisation, and the award is recorded as active. The contract covers the East Midlands service area.

This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for specialist support of Drive DeVilbiss occupational therapy equipment in a council care environment. A credible future competitor would need practical experience maintaining and repairing profiling beds, pressure care mattresses, bed rails and related equipment, together with reliable access to compatible replacement parts. The work would suit a business able to support a large installed equipment base across the East Midlands, respond to repair needs and maintain equipment used in care settings. Manufacturer-specific knowledge is particularly relevant because the requirement concerns Drive DeVilbiss-supplied equipment. The awarded supplier was a large organisation, indicating that dependable operational capacity and the ability to provide an ongoing service are important commercial considerations for this buyer.
