UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Ambulance Service NHS Trust is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process to acquire defibrillators. This preliminary market engagement is aimed at gauging potential suppliers’ interest and capability. The contract applies to the procurement of medical equipment specifically categorised under "Defibrillator" within the industry. The contract location is in the United Kingdom, with the NHS Trust based at 220 Waterloo Road, London. Interested suppliers are invited to contribute feedback on the draft specifications by 6th February 2026, which marks a critical milestone in this market engagement phase. The anticipated tender process follows this feedback period, and the procurement's planning phase is set to conclude around mid-2026, with the contract period expected to start by 24th August 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2030.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers within the medical equipment industry who can provide advanced defibrillator technology. Given that the procurement process welcomes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), diverse types of businesses stand to benefit. Suppliers with the capability to engage in thorough specification feedback and who can demonstrate compliance with NHS standards are well-positioned to compete effectively. This engagement presents a valuable entry point to establish or expand partnerships with a major public health service provider.
