UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, based in Liverpool, procured a bed management contract covering the supply of hospital beds (CPV 33192120). The requirement is categorised as goods rather than services or works. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement therefore concerns the provision of hospital bed equipment for an NHS foundation trust, with a delivery footprint extending across the English regions. It is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers able to provide hospital beds and support their delivery to NHS healthcare locations across England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold purchase. MEDSTROM LTD was awarded the contract on 16 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 17 July 2026 to 14 August 2026. Its value is £12,763.13 excluding VAT, or £15,317.13 including VAT. The procurement comprised one completed lot covering the hospital bed requirement. The recorded award is active and the contract is active. This was therefore a short, direct NHS purchase rather than an open competitive tender, with MEDSTROM LTD selected as the supplier. The outcome provides a clear reference point for the buyer’s immediate hospital bed purchasing requirement.

This award indicates demand from The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust for hospital beds supplied through a direct, below-threshold route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a reliable range of hospital bed equipment, the ability to meet NHS healthcare expectations, and practical capacity to deliver to healthcare sites. Suppliers should be able to manage procurement of physical medical equipment, coordinate delivery across England where required, and demonstrate dependable fulfilment over a short contract period. Relevant strengths would include experience supplying hospitals or NHS organisations, established distribution and logistics arrangements, and the operational scale to respond to similar bed management requirements. Medical equipment manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist hospital furniture suppliers are the most closely aligned competitors.
