Summary of the contracting process

The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for a "Bariatric Hire Contract," which involves the hire of patient handling equipment specific to the healthcare sector. This procurement, classified under CPV code 33192600 for lifting equipment, follows a limited procurement method where a contract was directly awarded without prior publication due to a lack of competition linked to technical reasons. Located in Great Yarmouth, this contract serves the healthcare facilities under the Trust, with the main delivery location being The James Paget Hospital. The contract, valued at £50,000, was signed with Arjo UK Ltd on 31 October 2025 as part of an existing framework agreement, and aims to align with ongoing equipment provision during the ICS tender period.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in healthcare equipment, especially those providing niche supplies like bariatric and patient handling equipment. Ideal candidates for future similar tenders are businesses that can offer technically sophisticated products and services with proven performance and reliability in medical settings. Moreover, the stability and predictability of direct award contracts can appeal to suppliers already embedded in the healthcare supply chain or those looking to expand their portfolio in partnerships with regional NHS trusts.
