UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited procured two gynaecology training mannequins for use in its healthcare setting. The requirement is classified as medical equipment and falls within the goods category. The scope is focused and specific: supplying two mannequins rather than delivering a broader clinical training service, facilities-management service or construction project. The buyer is based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, so businesses supplying medical simulation equipment to NHS or hospital organisations may find the requirement relevant. The selected supplier, Limbs & Things Limited, is based in Bristol and specialises in products for clinical and practical healthcare education. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to manufacturers, distributors or specialist suppliers of gynaecology simulation models and related medical training equipment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Limbs & Things Limited. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 27 May 2026, with a contract period from 29 May 2026 to 28 May 2027. Its value is £10,060 excluding VAT and £12,072 including VAT. The award covers the single requirement for two gynaecology mannequins, classified under CPV 33100000 for medical equipment. The award is active and the contract is also active. The process was evaluated through a direct, non-competitive route rather than an open or selective tender, so the published outcome identifies the chosen supplier and agreed purchase rather than competing bids or a scored evaluation.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for practical gynaecology simulation equipment within a hospital organisation. Businesses considering future opportunities with Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited would need to provide reliable, clinically relevant mannequins suitable for healthcare education and practical skills training. Credible suppliers are likely to be manufacturers, authorised distributors or specialist medical-training companies able to supply the required equipment as a focused goods purchase, rather than providers whose offer depends on delivering an extensive training programme or wider hospital service. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be fulfilled by a specialist business rather than only a large medical-equipment group. Product quality, suitability for gynaecology teaching and dependable supply would be central to competing for comparable demand.
