Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought 34 Mindray BeneHeart D1 defibrillators for skills training. This is a goods supply requirement for external defibrillation equipment, procured through the NHS Supply Chain Framework for External Defibrillation Devices, Related Equipment and Associated Accessories. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site in Cheltenham and the South West of England. The requirement is specifically for Mindray BeneHeart D1 units rather than a broad clinical equipment service, so it is most relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers able to provide this model for training use. The buyer is Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Alexandra House, Sandford Road, Cheltenham.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 22 July 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 23 July 2026. Mindray (UK) Limited was selected for an awarded value of £54,476.50. The contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2027. The tender record also shows a minimum estimated value of £54,476.50 and a stated tender value of £0.01; the awarded value is the relevant outcome for this procurement. The contract was awarded as a single requirement for 34 defibrillators, with no separate lots recorded. Participation was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for a sizeable batch of branded defibrillators intended for staff and clinical skills training. A credible competitor would need dependable access to Mindray BeneHeart D1 units, or the ability to supply the specified equipment through the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework route. The requirement favours businesses with established medical-device distribution, reliable stock or manufacturing capacity, and the logistics needed to deliver multiple units to an NHS hospital trust. Suppliers should also understand public-sector framework call-offs and be able to support equipment supplied for training environments. The named SME supplier shows that specialist smaller medical-equipment businesses can deliver this type of requirement.
