UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

WM5G Limited has awarded a contract for the supply of CCE Capsules including pillcams and associated equipment, crucial for the continuation of an ongoing trial. The procurement process was handled through a direct award due to urgency, initiated as a result of a supplier's previous inability to deliver, impacting patient outcomes. The buyer, WM5G Limited, located in Birmingham, has finalised this agreement with Medtronic Limited, a supplier operating from Watford. The contract commenced on 8th September 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026. This procurement falls under the category of goods, with a total contract value not exceeding £545,000. The equipment will be delivered within the UKG region.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers capable of delivering medical diagnostic devices efficiently and reliably. Although the current award is a direct award due to emergency needs, WM5G Limited plans to address future supplies through a competitive tender, making it a favourable scenario for SMEs and VCSEs interested in long-term participation. Companies specialising in the manufacturing or supplying of diagnostic medical equipment could benefit substantially by preparing to engage in the upcoming competitive procurement expected to secure continuation beyond this direct award period.
