UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured Arvada 2 high-back bedside chairs for clinical support at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement is for healthcare furniture: bedside chairs with a silver frame and Berry upholstery or finish. The buying organisation is the NHS foundation trust serving the hospital, and the goods are intended for use in the hospital’s clinical environment. This is a focused furniture supply requirement rather than a construction, installation or wider facilities-management contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of hospital, care-home or other healthcare furniture, particularly those able to supply high-back bedside seating to the specified Arvada 2 design or an equivalent requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to OCURA HEALTHCARE FURNITURE, whose award is active. The award was made on 29 July 2026. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 29 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. Its value is £29,040 excluding VAT and £34,848 including VAT. The contract covers the supply of chairs. The published outcome records West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust as the buyer and OCURA HEALTHCARE FURNITURE as the selected supplier. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, so participation was restricted to suppliers invited to compete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist healthcare seating within West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust: high-back bedside chairs for hospital clinical use, in a specified product design, frame finish and colour. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would have a dependable range of bedside and patient-area chairs, the ability to meet healthcare furniture specifications, and reliable stock or manufacturing capacity for a focused order. Experience supplying NHS hospitals, healthcare providers or comparable clinical environments would help establish credibility, alongside evidence of product quality, durability, infection-control suitability and safe delivery. The use of a below-threshold limited competition also indicates that suppliers need visibility with the trust and a clear capability profile before a similar requirement is approached.
