Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, based in North Shields, as the buying organisation. The contract, titled "Seca Weighing Scales," falls under the industry category of goods, specifically weighing machinery and scales, and was awarded through a direct procurement method without competition. This procurement was categorized as below the threshold, indicating a specific procurement requirement without public tendering. The award stage is now complete, involving the supply of 53 weighing scales and carrying cases for the district nurses team. The contract was signed on 1st July 2025, and the active contract period ran from 2nd July 2025 to 9th July 2025.

This contract provides an opportunity for businesses in the weighing machinery sector to engage with public healthcare institutions, potentially opening doors to further procurement opportunities in health-related goods. Large businesses with experience in supplying technical equipment to government authorities would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes, as demonstrated by the successful award to Seca Ltd, a large-scale supplier. The completion of this contract underscores the importance of preparedness and understanding of niche procurement processes in domestic markets, especially within healthcare equipment tenders.
