Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust involved the acquisition of Patient Transportation Chairs under direct procurement without competition, labelled as "Below threshold." The contract, signed on 25th February 2026, covers the supply of 24 Manchester Inn Transport Chairs and 24 Coin Operator Chairs with mounting plates, specifically designed for public use. Located in Leeds, United Kingdom, the contract was awarded to Acime UK Ltd, a large supplier from Manchester, and spans from 25th February 2026 to the 24th February 2027. The procurement falls under the central government public authority classification and primarily deals with goods within the healthcare sector.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare equipment and public-use products, especially those familiar with manufacturing or supplying high-quality seating solutions. A large firm, like Acime UK Ltd, has been identified as fitting to fulfil the contract requirements, suggesting that businesses with similar scale and expertise in chairs and related products for healthcare environments could also benefit from engaging in similar procurement processes. The absence of competition in this procurement indicates a preference for direct transactional relationships, potentially simplifying entry for businesses ready to deliver specific and high-demand goods within the stipulated timelines.
