Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust bought three ICU Multicare X3 beds for use at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds. This is a hospital equipment supply requirement, specifically intensive care beds (CPV 33192120). The buyer is the NHS foundation trust, and the delivery location identified is its hospital in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The procurement concerns beds rather than installation, maintenance or other clinical services; the stated scope is three beds. The purchase forms part of the trust’s capital equipment requirement. The named model gives suppliers a clear indication of the product type involved: comparable hospital equipment businesses may find the requirement relevant, while firms focused on unrelated medical supplies or services are less likely to match the stated need.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to LINET UK LIMITED. The award was made on 24 September 2026, for £48,257.50, with a contract period running from 24 September 2026 to 23 September 2027. The original estimated tender value was £33,691.56. The trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement; the requirement was for three beds and was not divided into lots. The tender deadline was 15 September 2026. The available information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or selection test, so the basis for choosing the successful supplier cannot be described beyond the reported award and framework call-off route.

The award shows that West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust purchases specialist intensive care beds as part of its capital equipment needs. LINET UK LIMITED, a small or medium-sized supplier, was selected for the requirement, demonstrating that a specialist medical-bed supplier could fulfil this purchase. Competitors seeking to serve the same requirement when it returns to market would need to supply ICU beds matching the stated Multicare X3 specification, and to demonstrate that their products meet the trust’s clinical and operational needs. The route used was a call-off from a framework, so businesses would need access to an appropriate framework to compete through the same route. The procurement is for a small number of high-value clinical beds rather than a broad hospital furnishing programme.
