UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Cumbria procured Defiguard Touch 7 Schiller defibrillators for a course commencing in the autumn. This is a goods requirement for defibrillation and cardiac stimulation equipment, classified under CPV codes 33182100 and 33182200. 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 buying organisation is The University of Cumbria, a public authority based in Cumbria. The requirement is tied to supporting course delivery rather than a construction, consultancy or general medical-services contract, so relevant suppliers are manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-equipment providers able to supply Schiller Defiguard Touch 7 devices for educational use across the stated delivery area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure whose detailed method is recorded as unknown. One lot was awarded to Schiller UK Ltd, an SME. The award was made on 17 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is valued at £45,264 gross, including any applicable taxes, and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award covers the supply of the specified Schiller defibrillators and cardiac stimulation devices. The tender record identifies a single completed lot and an active award. The procurement was for goods, and the contract value is below the applicable threshold. No separate evaluation weighting or selection requirements are stated in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for Schiller Defiguard Touch 7 defibrillators to support university course delivery, with demand extending across England. Competitors would need credible access to the specified Schiller equipment, whether through manufacture, authorised distribution or an established specialist supply route. They would also need to handle public-sector goods procurement and deliver medical equipment reliably to the University of Cumbria’s requirements and delivery locations. The awarded supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this scale of specialist supply is not limited to large national contractors. Businesses supplying defibrillators or cardiac stimulation devices can use this procurement as a relevant benchmark for the product type, educational setting and below-threshold route likely to matter when comparable university requirements return to market.
