Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought three Liftie Pro falls retrieval kits for healthcare use. These are lifting equipment intended to help staff retrieve people who have fallen. The procurement was for goods and related to a single requirement for the Trust, whose address is Bradford Royal Infirmary in Bradford. The named equipment category is healthcare-sector lifting equipment (CPV 33192600).

The procurement was awarded to Arjo UK Limited through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026, with a stated period from 31 March to 29 April 2026. Its value was £26,414.34 excluding VAT, or £31,697.21 including VAT. The award is recorded as active, but the contract was terminated; the recorded termination rationale says the contract was completed, and implementation ended on 29 April 2026. The procurement was not divided into multiple lots. No separate evaluation basis is stated.

This purchase shows demand at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for specialist equipment to retrieve people after falls, specifically Liftie Pro kits. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply suitable healthcare lifting equipment and be able to provide three kits for use by the Trust. Arjo UK Limited, a large supplier, was selected through a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation benchmark or stated technical qualifications. Suppliers with a relevant product range and the capacity to meet a small, defined equipment requirement are closest to the demonstrated purchasing need.
