Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured ward furniture for its hospital services. The requirement covered 18 E600 Elite Patient Chairs and 18 Over Bed Tables, classified as furniture. The buying organisation is based at Whiston Hospital in Prescot, Merseyside. This is a goods requirement for suppliers able to provide patient seating and bedside or over-bed furniture for hospital wards. The scope is specific rather than a general furniture supply: businesses should be able to supply both the stated patient chair model and over-bed tables, or provide an equivalent offer that meets the Trust’s requirements. The procurement relates to the Trust’s own hospital operations in the Prescot area.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a below-threshold procurement, with the procurement method recorded as unknown, and comprised one lot. Renray Healthcare Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £10,067 excluding VAT, or £12,080 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The available outcome data identifies the awarded supplier and contract terms, but does not provide an award date or a stated evaluation basis. The requirement was treated as goods rather than services or works.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for specialist ward furniture, combining patient chairs with over-bed tables in a focused hospital requirement. A credible future competitor would need a dependable range of healthcare or institutional furniture, including patient seating and tables designed for use beside or over hospital beds. Suppliers should be able to fulfil a defined quantity of matching items and manage delivery for a hospital customer. The award to Renray Healthcare Limited, recorded as an SME, shows that a smaller specialist supplier can satisfy this type of requirement. Relevant businesses are furniture manufacturers, healthcare equipment distributors and specialist resellers with reliable supply and experience serving NHS or comparable healthcare environments.
