Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation procured dental simulation equipment for its clinical simulation laboratories. The requirement covered phantom head models, small equipment, dental handpieces and dental instruments, with the ability to buy further equipment through future call-offs. This is a goods supply opportunity in dental and related clinical training equipment, classified under CPV 33130000. Delivery is associated with Portsmouth, Hampshire. The buyer is a higher education corporation, so suppliers serving universities, dental schools, clinical education providers and simulation laboratories would find the requirement most relevant. The scope centres on physical equipment rather than construction, consultancy or clinical treatment services, and includes both an initial supply and potential subsequent purchases under the arrangement.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Wrights Health Group Limited was selected as supplier for the Phantom Heads Small Equipment requirement. The contract value is £76,809.09 and it was signed on 27 August 2026; the award is recorded in 2026. The procedure was a limited further competition under the NWUPC Medical Simulation and Training Equipment Framework, LAB3032 NW Lot 3 Dental Simulation Equipment, using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Two bids were received. Evaluation was based on price. The requirement was arranged as one lot, covering the initial supply and call-off purchases, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the associated award and contract remain active.

This procurement indicates established demand from the University of Portsmouth for dental simulation equipment supplied as an initial package with the facility for later call-offs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply phantom head models, dental instruments, handpieces and related small equipment, while supporting the practical needs of clinical simulation laboratories. Experience supplying dental education, healthcare training or similar institutional simulation environments would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be prepared to compete through an established medical simulation and training equipment framework or comparable public-sector route, and to demonstrate competitive pricing because price was the recorded award basis. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating a requirement that may favour dependable supply capacity alongside product expertise.
