Summary of the contracting process

North East London NHS Foundation Trust procured the hire of hospital beds for its Stage ward through a call-off purchase order. The requirement is categorised as goods and concerns hospital beds (CPV 33192120). MEDSTROM LTD is the named supplier. Delivery is specified in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is an NHS foundation trust based in Ilford, Essex. This is a focused equipment-hire requirement rather than a wider clinical, construction or facilities-management service. Businesses active in medical equipment rental, hospital bed supply or associated healthcare equipment provision would find the subject matter relevant. The stated requirement concerns bed hire for the Stage ward, so suppliers would need to understand the operational demands of supplying equipment to an NHS healthcare setting.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through one completed lot. The procedure was below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. MEDSTROM LTD received the active award on 20 August 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 August 2027. Its value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £12,000 including VAT. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The procurement used a call-off purchase order for Stage ward bed hire. No award or contract cancellation or termination is recorded. The selected supplier and the contract terms are therefore established for this requirement and period.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication that North East London NHS Foundation Trust uses a below-threshold call-off route to obtain hospital bed-hire capacity for a named ward. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable stock of suitable hospital beds, the operational capacity to provide hired equipment to an NHS trust, and processes for coordinating delivery, collection and service support. Evidence of supplying comparable healthcare organisations and managing equipment reliably in a clinical environment would strengthen its position. Businesses should also be able to respond efficiently to focused, single-lot requirements rather than assuming that only large, multi-site frameworks are relevant.
