Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured oxygen delivery device consumables for use with oxygen delivery machines already installed across its hospital estate. The goods are medical consumables used to keep the equipment operating safely and effectively and to maintain continuity of patient care. Delivery and use are across the Trust’s hospital estate in Bradford. The requirement covers the consumables themselves rather than replacement oxygen delivery machines or wider clinical equipment. The products are proprietary items designed and manufactured specifically for the installed machines, with compatibility central to safe operation, patient care and regulatory compliance. This is therefore relevant to manufacturers and authorised suppliers of compatible oxygen-delivery equipment consumables, particularly businesses able to support a hospital estate using established Fisher & Paykel Healthcare systems.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 and Schedule 5, paragraph 6, on single-supplier technical grounds. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited was awarded the contract on 8 September 2026. The awarded value is £211,106 excluding VAT, or £253,327 including VAT. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 20 September 2026 to 24 August 2028. There is one completed lot and one active award. The Trust concluded that the proprietary consumables could only be supplied by this manufacturer, with no reasonable alternative or substitute, because of equipment compatibility, patient safety, regulatory compliance and technical rights. Supplier eligibility and conflicts of interest were subject to due diligence.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the procurement demonstrates a continuing requirement for specialist consumables supporting an installed hospital oxygen-delivery estate. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to manufacture or supply products fully compatible with the relevant machines, together with control of the necessary technical specifications, manufacturing rights and supply arrangements. Evidence of product approval, quality assurance, regulatory compliance and patient-safety performance would be important, since the Trust treated non-approved alternatives as unacceptable. Suppliers would also need dependable capacity and distribution to maintain continuity of clinical operations across hospital sites, with the ability to support an established equipment base rather than offering a general range of unrelated medical consumables. The incumbent’s manufacturer status was central to the award route.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Oxygen Delivery Device consumables

Notice Description

The Authority requires the continued supply of consumables used in conjunction with existing oxygen delivery machines deployed across its hospital estate. These consumables are essential for the safe and effective operation of the installed equipment and are required to maintain continuity of patient care.

Procurement Information

The Authority intends to award the contract directly pursuant to Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 and Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 (Single Supplier). The Authority has established that the required consumables can only be supplied by a particular supplier because of technical reasons and there is no reasonable alternative or substitute available. The consumables are proprietary products designed and manufactured specifically for use with the Authority's installed oxygen delivery machines. The manufacturer is the sole supplier of the consumables and holds the necessary technical specifications, manufacturing rights and supply arrangements required to provide products that are compatible with the equipment. The use of alternative consumables is not available because: * The consumables must be fully compatible with the installed oxygen delivery machines. * Use of non-approved consumables could compromise equipment performance, patient safety and regulatory compliance. * No equivalent or substitute products are available from other suppliers. * Replacement of the installed equipment solely to facilitate competition for consumables would be disproportionate and would not represent value for money. The Authority is therefore satisfied that only one supplier can provide the required consumables and that the direct award grounds are met. Procurement Act Basis The Authority intends to award the contract under: * Procurement Act 2023, Section 41 (Direct Award in Special Cases); and * Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 (Single Supplier), where the goods can only be supplied by a particular supplier and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. Additional Supporting Information The Authority has considered the availability of alternative suppliers and alternative consumable products and has concluded that no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. The Authority has documented the technical, operational and patient safety reasons supporting this conclusion and has retained appropriate evidence within the procurement file. The Authority has also completed appropriate due diligence in relation to supplier eligibility and conflicts of interest in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and associated guidance.
