Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the acquisition of a Simulation Mannequin to enhance simulation education for the Nursing, Midwifery, Allied Health Professions (NMAHP), and Clinical Support Workers (CSW). The procurement, which falls under the 'Training aids and devices' category, is located in Cambridge, UK, within the UKH12 region. The contract was awarded to Sim & Skills Ltd and signed on 13th March 2026, with the delivery expected to span from 18th March to 17th June 2026. Although the procurement was below the threshold, it utilized a tender initiation method, with a legal basis under the UKPGA 2023/54. The contract's gross value is £26,299, indicating a significant investment into healthcare training resources.

This contract provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in educational training devices, particularly those catering to healthcare simulation technology.
