Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured goods to replace broken patient furniture on Sara Ward. The requirement is ward furniture for use in a hospital setting, with furniture classified under CPV 39100000. The buying organisation is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Hills Road, Cambridge. The work concerns supplying furniture for the Trust’s hospital operations in Cambridge. This is a focused healthcare furnishing requirement rather than a construction, facilities-management or clinical-services contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of patient and ward furniture, particularly those able to provide suitable replacement items for an NHS hospital ward and meet the practical requirements of a live healthcare environment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Ocura Healthcare Ltd. The tender was a below-threshold procurement using a method recorded as unknown. It comprised one completed lot. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and has an active period from 28 August 2026 to 27 November 2026. Its value is £14,757 excluding VAT and £17,490 including VAT. The award covers the furniture requirement for the single lot, and the selected supplier is Ocura Healthcare Ltd. The contracting process therefore records an awarded outcome rather than an opportunity for further submissions. The contract is below the applicable threshold and is held by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement is evidence that Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust buys replacement patient furniture for individual hospital wards. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable range of ward and patient furniture, the ability to identify suitable replacements for damaged or broken items, and the operational capacity to supply a hospital buyer within a defined delivery window. Experience of NHS or acute-hospital environments would help demonstrate understanding of infection control, patient safety, durability, cleaning and the practical constraints of ward use, where supported by the relevant product evidence. Suppliers should also be able to manage straightforward below-threshold purchasing processes and provide responsive after-sales support.
