Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured regional anaesthesia block simulator items for use in trainee education. The equipment supports simulation of regional anaesthesia procedures, allowing healthcare trainees to practise techniques in a training environment. The requirement is classified as education and training services and relates to the Trust’s activity in Mid and South Essex, with the buyer based in Basildon. This is a specialist healthcare education requirement rather than a general training services contract: suppliers operating in medical simulation, anaesthesia education, clinical skills training or associated medical products are the most relevant comparators. The named requirement is specifically associated with Pajunk regional anaesthesia block simulator items.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Pajunk U.K. Medical Products Limited, and the contract was signed on 28 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £29,919.66 excluding VAT, or £35,903.59 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure, with the competition restricted to selected suppliers. The award covers education and training services for the regional anaesthesia block simulator items. Pajunk U.K. Medical Products Limited is the selected supplier for the complete requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for practical regional anaesthesia training and simulation equipment at a moderate, single-year contract scale. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this kind would combine clinical education expertise with suitable simulator products and an understanding of how anaesthesia procedures are taught safely. Credibility would come from demonstrating that equipment is realistic, durable and suitable for repeated trainee use, supported by clear training or technical information. Relevant suppliers may include specialist medical device manufacturers, authorised healthcare product distributors, clinical simulation providers and organisations with experience supplying NHS education environments. The limited-competition route also indicates that establishing visibility with the Trust and demonstrating a close product fit would be important.
