Summary of the contracting process

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust procured a nurse call upgrade for Abington Ward, Holcot Ward, Balmoral Ward and the Dermatology Department at its hospital in Northampton. The requirement is classified as a patient-monitoring system and falls within the goods category. It concerns supplying and upgrading the equipment used to support nurse call and patient-monitoring functions across the named hospital areas. The buyer is Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust, a public NHS organisation. Delivery and installation activity is associated with the hospital’s Northampton site. The requirement is a single package rather than a set of separately described lots, covering the upgrade across all four wards or departments.

The procurement is complete and has reached the award stage. Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust used an open procedure, with electronic submissions allowed in English. The tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at noon; enquiries closed on 14 August 2026 at noon, and the award period ended on 11 September 2026. Three bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. H.R.MANN LIMITED was selected for the single lot on 11 September 2026, at £308,812.31 excluding VAT (£370,574.77 including VAT). The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, while the lot period starts on 12 October 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, commercial price at 40% and social value at 10%.

This award shows that Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust buys specialist nurse call and patient-monitoring equipment for multiple clinical areas as one coordinated upgrade. Suppliers that compete for similar work with this buyer will need to demonstrate the ability to deliver and support hospital-grade systems across wards and specialist departments, rather than serving only a single location. The evaluation placed greater weight on quality than price, with a separate social value element, so a credible competitor should be able to evidence technical quality, dependable delivery, installation and support arrangements, and a clear social value contribution. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, and all final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that established smaller specialist suppliers can compete for this type of hospital upgrade.
