Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust bought BiliCare transcutaneous bilirubin meters and protective cases for community midwives at Queen’s Hospital Burton. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, intended to support bilirubin measurement in community maternity services. The named buying organisation is the Trust, based at Royal Derby Hospital in Derby. The awarded equipment was associated with delivery across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement comprised one completed lot and was classified as medical equipment. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist healthcare equipment suppliers able to provide BiliCare meters together with their cases.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective route, using a below-threshold award under a framework agreement. Competition was not reopened for this purchase. Charter-Kontron Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and ran from 11 to 12 August 2026. Its value was £17,310 excluding VAT and £20,772 including VAT. The process used one completed lot. The available record identifies the requirement as a goods purchase and the contract as active. The award was made to one supplier for the BiliCare meters and cases. The procurement was linked to a wider framework arrangement, so the route was a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition.

This purchase demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for transcutaneous bilirubin meters and matching cases used by community midwives. Competitors seeking similar healthcare supply work would need to provide the specified BiliCare equipment, supply associated protective cases and support delivery to NHS maternity services across England. A credible supplier would be expected to understand clinical equipment distribution, product availability, ordering and fulfilment for public healthcare organisations. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than necessarily a large national contractor. Familiarity with framework purchasing and below-threshold NHS call-offs would also be commercially relevant when preparing for comparable requirements from this Trust.
