UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire procured the rental and replacement of medical gas cylinders. This is a goods requirement covering medical gases, classified under CPV 24111500. The buyer is based at Staffordshire Police HQ in Stafford and the awarded goods are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to suppliers that provide medical gases and can supply, rent, replace and manage cylinders for a public-sector organisation. The procurement concerns the buyer’s operational need for medical gas cylinders rather than broader medical equipment, clinical services or general facilities management. The single requirement was treated as one completed lot.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective, below-threshold award under a framework; it was non-competitive. Speciality Oxygen Service, an SME based in Wigan, was awarded the contract on 12 August 2026. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with three optional 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 31 August 2030. Its value is £32,112 excluding VAT, or £38,534 including VAT. The award covers the single lot for medical gases. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026. The available procurement information identifies the framework award route, rather than an open competition, as the basis for the selection.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire for the rental and replacement of medical gas cylinders. Competitors seeking similar work with this buyer would need reliable access to medical gases, suitable cylinder rental arrangements and the operational capacity to replace cylinders when required. They would also need to support delivery across the United Kingdom and provide dependable ongoing service throughout an initial contract and potential extensions. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national healthcare or facilities-management provider. Suppliers with proven medical-gas distribution, cylinder logistics and responsive replacement capability are therefore the closest fit.
