UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust procured medical consumables supplied by DM Orthotics Ltd. The requirement was for goods used in the Trust’s healthcare services, with the procurement managed through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative hosted by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. Delivery or use is associated with Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust in Birmingham. The awarded supply falls under the medical consumables category, CPV 33140000. The contracting arrangement relates specifically to consumables provided by DM Orthotics Ltd, rather than a wider clinical service, construction project or professional consultancy. Businesses operating in the supply of medical consumables for NHS healthcare settings are the closest commercial comparators for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to DM Orthotics Ltd without competition under a below-threshold waiver. The award is active and covers one lot. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and ran from 15 July to 14 August 2026. Its value was £16,666.67 excluding VAT and £20,000 including VAT. Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was the buyer, with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust managing the procurement service. The award date is not separately recorded, but the selected supplier and active award are identified. The process used a direct procurement method, so suppliers were not evaluated through an open competitive tender. The contract period was short and focused on the stated medical consumables supply.

This award shows a defined NHS requirement for medical consumables delivered through a direct, below-threshold purchasing route. A credible competitor for similar work would need to supply compliant medical consumables reliably, understand NHS purchasing and governance requirements, and maintain the operational capacity to support Birmingham healthcare services. Evidence of product quality, dependable fulfilment, stock availability, traceability and effective account management would strengthen a supplier’s position when competing for comparable requirements. Suppliers should also understand how Birmingham and Solihull’s shared procurement service operates on behalf of NHS trusts, including the need to work with both the purchasing trust and the collaborative procurement function. Businesses with established NHS supply experience and suitable distribution arrangements are best placed to pursue this type of recurring demand when it next reaches the market.
