Summary of the contracting process

The University of Hertfordshire is buying multiple items of medical simulation and training equipment, classified as medical equipment (CPV 33100000). The requirement covers supply and delivery under the UKUPC LAB3032NW framework, with separate specification and pricing documents for two lots. The equipment is intended for the university’s medical simulation and training activities. Delivery is associated with the University of Hertfordshire at College Lane, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, postcode AL10 9AB, with the item data also allowing delivery across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and elsewhere. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or construction contract, and the buyer is the University of Hertfordshire.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective restricted procedure. Simulaids Ltd was selected on 27 July 2026 for an award of £285,000, and the contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 27 July 2029. The original tender required quotations by 16 June 2026 at 17:00, with clarification questions due by 11 June 2026 at 17:00. The requirement was divided into two lots, with specifications and pricing matrices issued for Lot 1 and Lot 2. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. The published data identifies the successful supplier and award value, but does not provide the detailed scoring weights or separate values for the two lots.

This opportunity indicates established demand from the University of Hertfordshire for a broad range of medical simulation and training equipment, supplied through a university procurement framework. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need a substantial product range covering simulation and training applications, the ability to price multiple equipment lines clearly, and reliable delivery to the university’s Hatfield site and potentially wider destinations. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers should be prepared for a scale and compliance burden beyond a small standalone order. Experience supplying higher-education or clinical education customers, and the operational capacity to manage multiple lots, would strengthen a future competing offer.
