Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust involves the direct award of a contract for birthing simulators, under the title "YAS 230 2025_26 (DA Non FW) Birthing Simulators". This procurement falls within the goods industry category, specifically focusing on simulators, and is situated in the locality of Wakefield, United Kingdom. The process has progressed to the award stage with completion status, having been initiated as a direct award due to the singular availability of the supplier and lack of framework agreements. The contract period is set from 12th December 2025 to 11th December 2026, reflecting the buying organisation's dedicated timeline for procurement completion. The total contract value has been estimated at £21,208, with a gross total of £21,280 being above the applicable threshold. The official publication date for this award notice occurred on 1st December 2025.

This tender opens robust business growth avenues, particularly for suppliers specialising in medical training simulators. As the process was a direct award due to limited supplier options, businesses with unique offerings in the medical equipment and training sector are encouraged to position themselves for such opportunities to showcase distinct capabilities. It highlights the potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given the suitability designation within the tender's structure, to demonstrate innovative solutions and compete for future projects within the public health sector. Additionally, with the buyer being a central government public authority, engaging in such procurement processes can enhance a company's portfolio and credibility in securing further public sector contracts.
