Summary of the contracting process

The Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust has recently completed the procurement process for the provision of three Cuddle Beds intended for use at Salisbury Hospice. This procurement falls under the health industry category and is located in Salisbury, United Kingdom. The process, classified as a direct procurement method below threshold and executed without competition, concluded with an award to Montcalm International Limited, a supplier based in Oxfordshire. The contract commenced on 6th October 2025 and is set to end on 5th October 2026. The total contract value is £44,550 GBP. The purchase supports palliative and end-of-life care, funded by Salisbury Hospice Charity, and includes a five-year warranty for the supply item's NHS catalogue entry number TLC1085.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers in the healthcare equipment sector, particularly those specialising in hospital and hospice care products. Businesses able to provide innovative healthcare solutions or products tailored for palliative care can find valuable insights and models for engaging similar future contracts. Additionally, this direct procurement method indicates opportunities for companies to engage without the need for competitive tendering, especially if they can establish strong relationships with public health trusts and charities involved in funding specialised healthcare equipment. Large-scale suppliers with established logistic and servicing capabilities would likely find this type of contract beneficial, aligning with the procurement method and the ongoing support requirements.
