Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Middlesbrough Council, a public authority in the sub-central government sector, has proceeded to the award stage as of 14th October 2025. This process, identified as ASC105, involves the purchase of equipment, specifically daily aids, within the industry category of medical equipment and personal care products. The location of delivery is specified as UKC12, United Kingdom. The process followed a direct procurement method below the threshold, without competition, following the liquidation of the previous supplier. The contract was signed on 25th August 2025 and is set to end on 31st March 2027, with a gross value of £204,000.

This contract represents substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the medical equipment and hygiene product sectors. Larger businesses, particularly those that can swiftly respond to changing supply demands and offer medical or personal care products, would be well-positioned for future engagement in similar tenders. The necessity for quick vendor replacement and streamlined procurement processes suggests that agile and resource-capable firms like Precision Design Services Limited, which successfully secured this contract, can excel in such opportunities. Businesses geared towards innovation in medical equipment might find additional avenues for collaboration with public authorities like Middlesbrough Council in similar projects.
