Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process managed by Wigan Council for the "Community Equipment - Pressure Care & Beds" contract has attained the contract award stage as of 21st May 2026. This contract falls under the healthcare sector, specifically targeting medical equipment and social services, and the procurement was completed using an open procedure. Initially initiated to streamline equipment provision to support hospital discharge and prevent admissions, the contract aims to appoint a sole provider for cost efficiency. The contract, valued at £800,000, commences on 12th May 2026 and continues until 19th April 2029, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The contract will be implemented primarily in the UKD3 region, with Wigan Council, a sub-central government authority, serving as the contracting authority.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in medical equipment and social care solutions. It demonstrates significant growth potential by allowing businesses focused on durable medical goods production or supply to establish or expand their market presence in the public sector. SMEs, such as Drive Devilbiss Healthcare Ltd — the selected supplier for this contract, are particularly well-suited to compete given the contract's emphasis on providing specialised equipment efficiently and cost-effectively. Businesses that can meet the specified quality and delivery standards, including prompt response to urgent orders and excellent customer service, will find this contract especially beneficial for demonstrating their capabilities on an essential public service platform.
