Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Helmet Therapy" contract, awarded by the Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, has reached the award stage. The procurement is categorised under goods within the healthcare sector, specifically focusing on custom-made helmets for clinical applications. The buyer, in collaboration with the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, managed the procurement, located in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The contract, executed via a direct procurement method, emphasised efficiency by bypassing competition, aligning with regulations under UKPGA 2023/54. Significant dates include the contract start on 1st April 2025 and its conclusion on 31st March 2026, with a gross contract value of £48,000.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as Technology in Motion Ltd, the incumbent supplier, can gain traction in the healthcare sector by offering specialised, patient-centric solutions that satisfy strict medical requirements. Businesses with expertise in developing tailored health devices are ideally positioned to compete in similar tenders, gaining access to a network of NHS Trusts and expanding their footprint in the healthcare supply chain.
