UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust intends to procure equipment for a cardiac catheter laboratory. This is a goods requirement focused on cardiac surgery devices and cardiac support devices, including equipment used in a specialist hospital laboratory environment. Delivery and use are associated with the Trust’s services in Prescot, Merseyside. The procurement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical-equipment suppliers whose portfolios cover cardiac catheter laboratory equipment and related cardiac-care devices. Businesses supplying general hospital equipment without cardiac or catheter-laboratory capability are less likely to be suited to the requirement. The buyer is the NHS Trust, which is based at Whiston Hospital in Prescot and provides the public-sector setting for the planned purchase.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Trust has announced an intention to buy and has not issued an invitation to tender. It is planned as one lot. The expected contract period is from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. The buyer has scheduled preliminary market engagement, with supplier engagement activity expected by 10 August 2026. The engagement concerns access to procurement information and electronic communication through the buyer’s online system. The planned purchase is classified as goods and covers cardiac surgery devices and cardiac support devices. The procurement record does not set out an estimated value, proposed award method or evaluation criteria. The Trust has updated the access details for the procurement information as part of the planning process.

The work is likely to suit businesses with established expertise in cardiac catheter laboratory equipment, cardiac surgery devices or cardiac support devices. Relevant suppliers may include manufacturers, authorised medical-equipment distributors and specialist NHS healthcare-technology providers able to supply equipment for use in a hospital cardiac laboratory. Firms preparing for this procurement should review their cardiac-care product range, manufacturer authorisations, distribution arrangements, installation capability and after-sales support for clinical equipment. Experience supplying hospitals or other healthcare providers would help demonstrate practical understanding of clinical environments, equipment integration and service continuity, although the buyer has not yet published detailed participation requirements. The planned market engagement gives suitably experienced suppliers an opportunity to understand the requirement before the procurement reaches the tender stage.
