Summary of the contracting process

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is seeking a supplier for suction controllers and associated filters. The requirement covers three controller types: high, low and thoracic suction controllers. These are medical equipment and the associated filters are intended to support their use. The procurement is for goods, with the Trust as the buying organisation. The requirement is structured as one lot and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement data does not identify a separate delivery location, so suppliers should review the tender requirements for the operational delivery arrangements. Businesses specialising in medical equipment supply, particularly suction-control equipment and compatible filtration products, are the most directly relevant prospects.

The process reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open competition below the applicable threshold. Enquiries could be submitted until 18 September 2026 at 5:00pm, and tender responses were due by 23 September 2026 at 5:00pm. Bids were to be submitted electronically through Health Family/ATAMIS, using project reference C465168. The contract period is from 1 January 2027 to 30 September 2029. The published procurement value is £0, with a published gross value of £0, both in GBP. There is one lot. The stated evaluation basis is the best offer. The tender records electronic submission as allowed and identifies the procurement as below threshold. The published tender title is Suction Controllers (three types) & associated filters.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide medical suction controllers in high, low and thoracic types, together with the associated filters. A business with an established range of suction-control equipment, reliable access to compatible consumables and the operational ability to support a hospital trust would be well placed to assess the requirement. Product knowledge across the three controller types and the ability to supply the equipment and filters as a coordinated package are directly relevant. The opportunity is expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it is not limited to large national medical-equipment distributors. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate that their proposed products meet the Trust’s technical and purchasing requirements, as the stated basis for selection is the best offer.
