UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust recently completed a procurement process for the purchase of spinal implants, awarding the contract to Edge Medical Ltd. The tender process, titled "Waiver - BWC_RQ3 - Edge Medical Ltd - Spinal Implants," was executed through a direct procurement method without competition, as it fell below the threshold. Aimed at supplying surgical implants, this procurement was managed by the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust via the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative. The contract, active from 14th November 2025 to 13th November 2026, involves a gross value of £17,242.74, and it aligns with the UKPGA legal framework. The Trust's central government categorisation highlights its role within the public healthcare sector in Birmingham, UK.

This contract offers growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in the supply of surgical implants and related goods. The direct procurement approach, often suited for specialised suppliers like Edge Medical Ltd, highlights a preference for efficient and reliable service provision without the necessity for competitive tendering. Businesses with capabilities in medical devices and surgical equipment, particularly those focusing on implants, would be well-positioned to benefit from similar procurement opportunities within the NHS framework. This procurement can serve as a precedent for SMEs looking to establish or expand their footprint in partnering with NHS Trusts, especially within integrated care systems.
