Summary of the contracting process

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Medical Cooling Therapy Devices", crucial for preventing nerve damage during chemotherapy treatment. The procurement, identified under contract number 080678-2025, was carried out through a direct award method. The relevant legal basis is set by UK legislation 2023/54. The awarded supplier, Hilotherm Ltd, is noted as the sole UK distributor of the necessary devices. Situated in Bebington, UKD74, the Trust finalised the contract on 8th December 2025, with the contract period scheduled from 22nd to 23rd December 2025. Noteworthy is the standstill period concluding on 17th December 2025. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category and involves a financial commitment of £149,850.

This contract presents potential growth opportunities predominantly for suppliers specialising in medical devices, particularly those focusing on radiotherapy and physical therapy products. Given that Hilotherm Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Coventry, successfully secured the award underscores opportunities for niche suppliers with exclusive distribution rights. Businesses with capabilities to manufacture or distribute similar certified medical devices might find encouragement in exploring partnerships or innovations in this specialty sector to position themselves for future direct award tenders or framework agreements within the healthcare industry. Such opportunities can enhance market presence and influence broader adoption of advanced medical treatments across the healthcare domain.
