UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management procured a portable vital signs simulator solution. This is a goods requirement for simulators used to reproduce or demonstrate vital-signs monitoring scenarios, supporting healthcare training, assessment or clinical skills practice. The named buying organisation is Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management, based at Northumbria House, Cobalt Business Park, North Shields. The procurement is titled “simulators” and covers the requirement as a single lot. The selected supplier, ultramedic, is based in Liverpool. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses that supply portable patient-monitoring simulation equipment or complete portable vital signs simulator solutions for healthcare organisations and their training environments.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One award was made to ultramedic, covering the single simulators lot. The contract was signed on 27 February 2026 and runs from 27 February 2026 to 20 March 2026. Its value is £48,852 excluding VAT, or £58,622.40 including VAT. The published contract information records an amendment correcting the VAT amount from £5,862.240 to £58,622.40. The award is active and the contract is active. The available procurement information identifies simulators as the goods category, with CPV 34150000.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management for a portable vital signs simulator solution, rather than a general healthcare equipment purchase. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements would need a product or solution that is genuinely portable and designed to simulate vital-signs monitoring for healthcare training or skills practice. Credible competitors are likely to be specialist medical simulation or clinical education suppliers able to supply the equipment as a complete solution and support its use by a healthcare facilities management organisation. The successful supplier was a large business, indicating that relevant scale and established capability may be useful when competing for this buyer’s simulator requirements.
