UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process was conducted by the Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, located in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The tender titled "HFO OSCILLATORY VENTILATORS" focused on maintenance services for eight existing oscillatory ventilators. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically within repair and maintenance services of medical and surgical equipment. The procurement method used was direct, below the threshold and without competition, and the contract was awarded to Aquilant, a large-scale supplier based in Herefordshire. The contract period commenced on 1st July 2026 and is set to conclude on 30th June 2027, with a gross value of £14,460.10.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in medical equipment maintenance and services. Companies experienced in providing repair and maintenance services, particularly in the healthcare sector, could view similar future opportunities as a promising channel for growth. Although this procurement did not involve competition due to its below-threshold status, businesses should monitor such contracts for future prospectives where competitive tendering might occur—especially given the precedence of contracts from prominent public authorities like NHS trusts. Active engagement in the public procurement space can position businesses favourably for upcoming opportunities.
