Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has awarded a contract to the British Heart Foundation for the provision of The Circuit, a national defibrillator database for the 2024/2025 period. This project, classified under "Health services", involves supporting the database that provides real-time information on the location and access codes of defibrillators to assist individuals suffering cardiac arrests across the UK. The contract process was completed without prior publication due to the lack of competition for technical reasons, and the contract, valued at £300,000, was signed on 6th November 2024. The procurement falls outside the scope of the usual directive application, and the status of the tender is now complete.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in health services, specifically those capable of managing and supporting health infrastructure. There is potential for growth by collaborating or subcontracting with primary awardees like the British Heart Foundation. Companies that possess technical expertise in maintaining databases or have a background in medical equipment services would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. With NHS England as the buying organisation, businesses can expect a reputable and stable partnership, providing a platform for extended growth within the public health sector.
