Summary of the contracting process

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust procured trust-wide specialist mattresses and community care equipment, including purchasing and rental arrangements. The requirement is a service-led package involving medical equipment, with repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment included. Delivery is for the Trust’s services across South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, whose address is Bethlem Royal Hospital in Beckenham. The procurement is relevant to suppliers of specialist mattresses, community and healthcare equipment, equipment rental, and associated installation, servicing, repair or maintenance. It may also suit businesses able to combine equipment supply with ongoing support for NHS or other healthcare organisations. The requirement was treated as a service procurement and was divided into one lot.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. Three bids reached the final stage, including one from an SME. The estimated value was £550,000 excluding VAT (£660,000 including VAT). Drive Devilbiss Sidhil Limited was selected for the single lot at £290,181 excluding VAT (£348,217 including VAT), with the award dated 28 July 2026. The awarded contract period is 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions taking the maximum extent to 4 October 2031. Evaluation weighted technical and social responses at 60% and the commercial response at 40%. The award remained subject to a standstill period ending 10 August 2026, with signature scheduled for 17 August 2026.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates established NHS demand for specialist mattresses and community care equipment supported by rental, repair and maintenance services. A credible competitor would need to provide or source suitable healthcare equipment, manage supply and rental across a Trust-wide requirement, and maintain medical and surgical equipment reliably throughout a multi-year service arrangement. The evaluation shows that technical and social responses carried greater weight than price, so evidence of service quality, clinical suitability, operational resilience and social value would be important alongside competitive commercial terms. The successful supplier was a large business, but the opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and one SME reached the final stage, indicating that specialist smaller providers may compete directly or contribute through a focused offer.
