Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the University of Lincoln, which is seeking to enhance its educational offerings with the acquisition of specialist anatomy tables for the Lincolnshire Institute of Dental and Oral Health. This award notice titled "Dentistry (Ross Lucas) Specialist Equipment (Anatomy Tables)" pertains to the industry category of dental and subspecialty instruments and devices, classified under CPV code 33130000. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract awarded to Sim & Skills Ltd for £138,000 GBP. This procurement stems from a direct appointment under the NHS Supply Chain Simulation Devices and Services Framework Agreement. Key dates include the contract period starting on 15th October 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026, with delivery within the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in dental and medical educational equipment. Businesses with expertise in medical simulation and training devices would find this opportunity particularly well-suited, given the framework's focus on simulation devices and services. Significant potential arises from the critical role of such advanced equipment in medical and dental education, thereby providing ongoing supplier opportunities as the sector expands. Since this procurement is backed by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund via the Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority, it could lead to similar future procurement opportunities for SMEs looking to supply specialised educational equipment.
