Summary of the contracting process

The North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium (NWUPC) has initiated a procurement process to establish a multi-provider Framework Agreement for "Medical Simulation and Training Equipment." This will involve collaboration among members including NEUPC, LUPC, SUPC, APUC, HEPCW, and CPC. The framework, covering the supply of medical equipment classified under the CPV code 33100000, includes four lots: Simulation Manikins, Clinical Task Trainers, Dental Simulation Equipment, and Ophthalmology and Audiology Simulation Equipment. The framework is set to commence on 1st August 2025 and will run initially for 24 months, with options to extend until 31st July 2029. This open procedure aims to maximise competition and is open to businesses situated throughout the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in medical equipment, particularly SMEs who can offer innovative solutions in medical simulation training. The procurement is valued at £40 million and is accessible to manufacturers and suppliers of medical simulation, training devices, and ancillary products. With an award criteria emphasising both customer requirements and pricing (40% quality, 60% price), businesses capable of offering high-quality equipment at competitive prices stand to benefit. Partnerships with authorised regional distributors, like Uniphar Medtech UK Ltd for Northern Ireland, highlight opportunities for geographic-specific support and engagement.
