Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured the supply of a Quadra Allure PM3562 pacemaker, a specialist cardiac medical device. The requirement is categorised as goods and concerns the provision of the named pacemaker model rather than installation, clinical services or wider equipment. The purchasing organisation is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, Kent. The selected supplier is Abbott Laboratories Limited, a large medical-device company. This opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist healthcare suppliers able to provide Quadra Allure PM3562 pacemakers to an NHS foundation trust. Businesses whose offer is limited to general medical consumables, unrelated devices or clinical support services are unlikely to match this requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Abbott Laboratories Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was awarded through a direct procedure described as below threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 28 July 2026 to 28 July 2026, with active contract status. Its value is £12,000 excluding VAT and £14,400 including VAT. The award covers the supply of the Quadra Allure PM3562 pacemaker. Medway NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer. This was a below-threshold purchase, using the legal basis associated with the 2023 procurement legislation. The recorded award supplier is Abbott Laboratories Limited.

For suppliers that did not win this purchase, the requirement provides a clear example of Medway NHS Foundation Trust buying a specific, high-value cardiac device through a direct below-threshold route. A credible competitor for comparable demand would need reliable access to the Quadra Allure PM3562 pacemaker, or an equivalent authorised supply capability where the specification permits it, together with the systems needed to transact with an NHS foundation trust. Abbott Laboratories Limited’s recorded scale as a large supplier indicates that the buyer accepted a provider able to support specialist medical-device supply at institutional level. Relevant businesses are therefore manufacturers, authorised UK distributors and healthcare procurement specialists with established cardiac-device supply arrangements.
