Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for supplying Medical Gasses was conducted by the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, which is located in Exeter, UKK region. The contract, entitled "Medical Gasses," falls under the industry category of medical gases and involves delivering goods to various ambulance stations. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the contract having been signed on 4th November 2025. Remarkably, the procurement followed a limited method, leveraging the LPP Framework, allowing for a direct award without prior publication due to the directive not applying to this specific procurement. Although one lot was initially cancelled, the overall process was concluded with Medical Gas Solutions being the successful supplier.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses in the medical supply industry, particularly those experienced with providing medical gases. The contract, valued between £300,000 and £7,000,000, presents an excellent opportunity for suppliers to expand their portfolios and establish long-term relationships within the healthcare sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) focusing on specialised medical gas solutions could particularly benefit from this type of procurement, as it demands niche expertise and offers stability through potential contract extensions. Thus, companies adept in this industry can position themselves strategically to compete effectively in similar future tenders.
