Summary of the contracting process

The Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a procurement process for acquiring digital dictation accessories, specifically headsets and speakers. This award falls under the NHS's legal directive and is classified within the goods category. The procurement was conducted through a limited competition method, inviting local SMEs despite being below the threshold for direct awards. The awarded contract, valued at GBP 14,524.33 gross, started on 24 March 2026 and is scheduled to finish by 31 March 2026. CDW Limited, operating out of London, has been designated as the supplier, with distribution expected within the Liverpool locality.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the technological sector, particularly those specialising in audio devices such as headsets and speakers. The involvement of local small and medium enterprises in the competition highlights the trust's commitment to engaging regional vendors. Businesses with expertise in producing or distributing audio and communication equipment, particularly those offering USB-C connectivity solutions, would have been well-suited to compete in this procurement. Companies can explore similar opportunities to expand their client base within the public sector via limited competitive tenders. Leveraging expertise in complying with public sector framework agreements can open doors to similar contracts in the healthcare industry.
