UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed involves the Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as the buying organisation, which falls under the category of "Public authority - central government". The contract titled "Apollo Manikin" relates to the education and research industry category, specifically involving medical equipment. The contract, valued at £87,118.62 gross, commenced on 24th February 2026 and is set to conclude on 24th February 2027. The procurement method was direct and below threshold, executed without competition, and the tender is at the award stage with a completion status. The project is based in Doncaster, United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of medical equipment, particularly those experienced in educational and research settings. As the procurement method was direct, businesses that can offer unique advantages or bespoke services might be especially well-suited to such contracts. SIM & SKILLS LTD, a large-scale supplier, has been selected as the supplier, indicating that comparable-sized enterprises could effectively compete for similar future opportunities. The lack of competition in this procurement method suggests an advantageous environment for suppliers to directly connect with the NHS Foundation Trust and similar public authorities.
