The Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust recently completed the procurement process for a wheelchair-assisted vehicle aimed at transporting patients to and from appointments. The contract, titled "DHC Wheelchair Assisted Vehicle Purchase," falls under the Patient-transport vehicles industry category (CPV code 34114122). With procurement completed under a competitive quotation (below threshold) method, the award was given to GOWRINGS MOBILITY GROUP LIMITED. The total contract value stands at GBP 36,568.8, and the contract runs from 24 March 2025 to 23 March 2027. Key locations covered include British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom, all coordinated from the Trust's office in Poole, BH17 0RB.

This tender presents multiple business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in medical transport solutions and mobility equipment. Firms adept at manufacturing or supplying patient-transport vehicles with particular adaptations for wheelchair access are ideally suited to such requirements. Gaining a foothold with an NHS Foundation Trust like Dorset Healthcare can lead to further opportunities within the UK healthcare procurement system due to the trust placed in established suppliers. Businesses from SMEs to larger organisations, if proficient with competitive quotation procurements, could leverage such opportunities to build a strong relationship with public healthcare providers.
