UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured specialist medical equipment for Theatres 7 and 9 under its capital purchase project. The requirement covered uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and IPS equipment, within the goods category. The equipment is for use in hospital operating theatres, supporting the Trust’s clinical facilities in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The buying organisation is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, based at Hardwick Lane, Bury St Edmunds. This opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors, installers and specialist medical engineering businesses supplying resilient electrical power and associated infrastructure for healthcare environments. Suppliers with experience supporting operating theatres or comparable critical clinical settings would be particularly aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bender UK Ltd following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed and started on 15 April 2026, with delivery or performance scheduled to end on 13 May 2026. Its value was £79,330 excluding VAT, or £95,196 including VAT. The award covered one lot and the contract remains active. The requirement was evaluated through a limited competition, rather than an open procedure. The selected supplier was Bender UK Ltd, and the award relates to uninterruptible power supplies classified under CPV 31154000. The award date was 15 April 2026.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist power equipment serving operating theatres, with a substantial single-project scale and a short implementation period. Competitors seeking similar work with West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust would need credible capability in uninterruptible power supplies and IPS equipment, together with the technical knowledge to specify, supply and support systems used in critical clinical environments. Relevant businesses include specialist manufacturers, healthcare electrical contractors, authorised distributors and medical engineering providers able to coordinate equipment delivery and installation around theatre operations. Evidence of dependable performance, healthcare-sector experience, competent technical staff and the capacity to complete a focused capital project would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement.
