Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves a direct award by Central Bedfordshire Council for the supply, training, and servicing of a Fibro Scan Device. The contract falls under the medical equipment category, with its delivery covering the United Kingdom and several overseas territories. The procurement stage is complete, with the award having been published on 2 March 2026. The contract is set to commence on 4 March 2026 and finish on 2 March 2029. Central Bedfordshire Council, situated in Priory House, Shefford, Bedfordshire, executed this direct award with Echosens, a known supplier in the field.

The direct award of this tender does not present opportunities for competition or bids, as it has already been awarded. Businesses specialising in medical equipment manufacturing and servicing could leverage similar opportunities by maintaining a profile within the healthcare sector and establishing strong relationships with local councils like Central Bedfordshire Council. While the tender is not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, it highlights the need for expertise in medical equipment compliance and servicing standards, which larger enterprises in these areas might already possess.
