The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the tender stage of procuring Patients Flat Lifting Kits, Air Mattresses, and associated parts, along with their service maintenance and repair. This procurement process falls under the 'goods' category within the healthcare industry, aimed at enhancing equipment and patient care facilities. The tender follows an open procedure, with submissions open until 24th March 2026, and inquiries closing on 13th March 2026. Located in Birmingham, United Kingdom, the contract is set to commence on 4th May 2026 and will potentially extend to May 2031, depending on renewal conditions. The total contract value is estimated at £190,000 GBP, and the procurement is above the established threshold for goods.
