Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust purchased four Stryker Prime X patient trolleys for use in its hospital services. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, specifically patient trolleys and related medical furniture (CPV 33192000). The buying organisation is the NHS Trust, based at Whiston Hospital in Prescot. The requirement is focused on supplying a defined quantity of a named patient trolley product rather than providing broader hospital furniture, clinical services or building works. Businesses active in the manufacture, distribution or supply of hospital patient trolleys and comparable medical furniture would be the closest commercial match. The requirement concerns goods supplied to the Trust’s hospital operation in Prescot.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and was arranged as one lot. Stryker UK Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 September 2026. Its value is £24,051 excluding VAT, or £28,861 including VAT. The contract is active and the award is active. The recorded procurement was below the applicable threshold. The outcome shows a purchase of four patient trolleys through a short, single-lot below-threshold route, with the requirement awarded directly to the named manufacturer or supplier.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this NHS Trust, the award demonstrates a need for patient trolleys as medical furniture, in a defined purchase of four units and at a scale suited to a focused equipment supply opportunity. The selected business was Stryker UK Limited, a large supplier, and the specified product was the Stryker Prime X patient trolley. A credible future competitor would therefore need a reliable route to supply this product or an accepted equivalent, together with the operational capacity to provide multiple hospital trolleys to the Trust. Relevant experience in supplying NHS or hospital equipment would support credibility, although no specific accreditation or technical qualification is recorded here.
