Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involved the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, which sought to purchase 30 new ECG machines and accessories through a contract with Welch Allyn. Classified under electrocardiography devices (CPV: 33123200), this procurement in the goods category aimed to meet new electronic health records requirements. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, without prior publication of a call for competition, under the NHS Supply Chain framework. The contract, valued at £204,729.53, was signed on 2nd October 2025. The ECG equipment was intended for delivery in the United Kingdom, particularly in the region of UKK23. The procurement process is now at the award stage, and the contract has been activated.

This tender presented considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment, particularly those producing or supplying electrocardiography devices. Suppliers with capabilities to fulfil contracts of this nature, including those equipped to meet specifications within NHS frameworks, would see potential for growth. Large enterprises similar to Welch Allyn, which already have established operations and distribution capabilities within the UK healthcare sector, would find such procurement processes conducive to expanding their service offerings to NHS organisations and potentially securing further contracts through reliable performance and compliance with specified requirements.
