Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by NHS Golden Jubilee involves the completion of the contract for "Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) female patient simulator upgrades." The contract, valued at £117,745, was awarded to Medaphor Ltd and finalised on 5th October 2023. The procurement falls under the industry category of diagnostic ultrasound devices, with the central location identified as Clydebank, UKM81. The procurement stage relates to the award and contract phase, and the method employed was a limited procedure due to a lack of competition and the technical necessity to meet specific unit requirements.

This procurement offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in diagnostic medical equipment, particularly those that can provide innovative ultrasound technology solutions. The limited procedure and absence of alternative market options suggest that businesses with unique technical capabilities, especially in developing medical simulation devices, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. The contract's focus on pathology variations across multiple medical areas highlights the need for companies experienced in broad medical diagnostic applications. Given the significant contract value, large-scale suppliers equipped to handle complex medical upgrades would find this business prospect particularly advantageous.
