UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a hydrotherapy hoist system for its healthcare operations. The requirement is for lifting equipment used in the health care sector, specifically a hoist system supporting hydrotherapy provision. The buying organisation is based at Lincoln County Hospital on Greetwell Road, Lincoln, and the procurement is associated with the Trust’s hospital services in Lincoln. This is a goods requirement rather than a construction or consultancy project. The scope is focused on supplying the hydrotherapy hoist system itself, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-equipment suppliers with products designed for safe patient lifting in wet or hydrotherapy environments. The named supplier is ARJO UK Limited, a large healthcare equipment company.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure below the threshold, without competition. One award was made to ARJO UK Limited for the hydrotherapy hoist system. The award is active and the related contract is also active. The contract was signed and started on 6 July 2026, with an end date of 31 August 2026. Its value is £17,130.52 excluding tax, or £20,556.62 including tax. The award concerns one lot. The recorded route was a direct award rather than an open tender, so the opportunity demonstrates a purchase made without a competitive bidding stage. The contract is with the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and covers the stated hydrotherapy hoist system requirement.

For a supplier assessing future NHS demand, this procurement indicates a focused requirement for specialist patient-handling equipment used in hydrotherapy. A credible competitor would need to supply a suitable hydrotherapy hoist system and demonstrate that its equipment is appropriate for healthcare environments, including safe lifting and handling of patients around wet facilities. Relevant capability is likely to include product selection, delivery, installation or commissioning where required, and support for hospital users, although the procurement record only confirms the supply of the system. The successful supplier was ARJO UK Limited, an established large healthcare equipment business, which indicates that specialist medical-equipment manufacturers or authorised suppliers are the most directly relevant competitors. The purchase also identifies United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as a buyer with this type of requirement.
