Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured nitric oxide therapy supplies as goods for use in Nottingham and the wider East Midlands. The requirement covers the supply of nitric medical gas, rental of the cylinders used to contain it, and rental of associated medical equipment. It sits within the medical gases category, CPV 24111500, and is described as Nitric Oxide Therapy under Lot 3 of the Total Pharmaceutical Medical Gas Solutions framework. The buying organisation is the NHS trust serving Nottingham’s hospitals. This is a specialist hospital supply requirement combining a pharmaceutical medical gas with the equipment and cylinder-rental arrangements needed to support its clinical use.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BOC Limited on 8 September 2026. The award value is £315,369.34 including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 16 February 2026 to 15 February 2028. It was let through a selective procedure as a call-off from the Total Pharmaceutical Medical Gas Solutions framework, under Lot 3 for Nitric Oxide Therapy. The tender submission deadline was 15 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is the buyer, and BOC Limited is the selected supplier. The requirement was classified as goods, with participation identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for a managed nitric oxide therapy supply combining medical gas, cylinder rental and medical equipment rental. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply nitric oxide reliably for hospital use and coordinate the related cylinders and equipment as one service. The framework call-off route indicates that suppliers need an appropriate position on, or access to, the relevant pharmaceutical medical gas framework rather than relying only on an open standalone tender. The published outcome also indicates that the buyer selected a large specialist supplier, so competitors would need dependable supply capacity, operational resources for equipment and cylinder management, and experience supporting a clinical medical-gas service for an NHS hospital.
