UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust procured a Model 51LCD bariatric leg ulcer treatment chair with an electric option. This is a medical equipment purchase for treating patients with leg ulcers who require bariatric support, with the chair supplied for use in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is an NHS foundation trust based in Ashford, Kent. The procurement was for goods rather than services, works or a broader clinical support arrangement. The requirement was focused on one named chair model and its electric configuration, making it particularly relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers able to provide bariatric treatment furniture for NHS or other healthcare settings.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition. It was a single-lot requirement and the tender status is complete. Plinth Medical Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026 and runs from 3 July to 4 July 2026. Its value is £11,745 excluding VAT, or £14,094 including VAT. The award is recorded as active. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement details. This outcome shows a short, discrete purchase rather than a long-term service contract or framework arrangement, with one supplier selected for the specified bariatric leg ulcer treatment chair and electric option.

This procurement is commercially relevant to businesses supplying specialist medical equipment, particularly bariatric patient treatment chairs and equipment used in leg ulcer care. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was within the potential capacity of a smaller specialist business rather than necessarily requiring a large national healthcare contractor. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply the named or equivalent clinical equipment, provide the electric configuration, and demonstrate that the chair is suitable for bariatric patients and leg ulcer treatment. Suppliers with NHS procurement experience, reliable UK delivery arrangements and the ability to handle focused equipment purchases would be well placed to compete when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
