Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management is buying 13 MediMix vigo units and one peristaltic pump. This is a goods requirement for laboratory, optical and precision equipment, excluding glasses, rather than a maintenance, installation or consultancy service. The stated requirement is based on the user's specification for a particular pump type. The buyer is Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management, based in North Shields, and the requirement relates to its healthcare facilities management activity. The procurement is arranged as one lot and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The identified supplier is Feel Assured Ltd, a Warrington-based SME. Businesses considering comparable work should therefore focus on the supply of the specified MediMix vigo equipment and peristaltic pumping equipment, with the ability to meet a tightly defined healthcare user specification.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award. The buyer's stated reason was that the specified pump type is provided by one supplier, with single-supplier technical reasons recorded. The award date was 22 May 2026, and Feel Assured Ltd was selected. The awarded value is £176,432 excluding VAT, or £211,718.40 including VAT. The award's stated contract period was 5 to 8 June 2026, with a standstill period ending on 3 June 2026 and a planned signature date of 5 June 2026. A contract was subsequently signed on 20 July 2026, with an active contract period from 21 to 22 July 2026. The contract value is £176,432 excluding VAT, or £211,718.40 including VAT. The process is complete and above the relevant threshold.

This procurement indicates demand from Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management for a defined package of laboratory and precision equipment: multiple MediMix vigo units together with a compatible peristaltic pump. The successful supplier was a small business, and the lot was expressly considered suitable for SMEs, showing that delivery capability did not depend on a large corporate scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply the specified equipment accurately against a healthcare user's technical specification, demonstrate access to the required pump type, and manage delivery of a short, time-critical equipment order. The direct-award rationale also shows that technical compatibility and the ability to provide the exact specified pump are central commercial considerations. Relevant suppliers are therefore specialist equipment manufacturers, authorised distributors or resellers able to offer equivalent technical assurance.
