Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust involves the award of a contract for the supply of medical gas cylinders, classified under the industry category of medical gases (CPV code: 24111500). Located at Longfleet Road, Poole, with postal code BH15 2JB, the buying organisation focuses on a completed award stage within a selective procurement method. This involves a call-off from the TV&W Framework agreement. The contract, valued at £314,905 GBP, is set to commence on 1 January 2026 and will end on 31 December 2026, with a potential extension of 6 months. The tender period concluded on 31 December 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare supply chain, specifically those able to furnish medical gases. However, it might not be ideally suited for SMEs or VCSEs, given the nature of the contract and parties involved. Boc Limited, a large-scale supplier, has been awarded the contract, indicating that experienced companies within the sector with established infrastructure could be well-positioned to compete in similar procurement processes. Business growth can be fostered through larger frameworks and calls from established entities within the medical supply industry, particularly in regions like Poole, United Kingdom.
