Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust procured a single integrated service covering prosthetic and orthotic provision. The scope includes stock, semi-bespoke and bespoke orthotic devices, clinical orthotics services, managed orthotics services, and prosthetic clinical and service delivery. This is a specialist healthcare service supporting patients who require orthoses or prostheses, rather than a supply-only contract. Delivery is centred at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust in Stanmore, United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as orthotic services, with medical equipment also included in the classification. The NHS Trust is the buying organisation and the requirement was structured to be delivered by one supplier across all three service areas.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was run as a limited further competition under the NHS SBS Orthotics Products and Services including Prosthetic Services framework, covering its orthotic products, orthotic services and prosthetic services lots. The recorded route was an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Hugh Steeper Limited, trading as Steeper, was selected as the single supplier. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and is valued at £6,369,486.54. The stated term is seven years, with an option described for two further 12-month extensions, subject to satisfactory performance and value for money. Evaluation weighted qualitative criteria at 55%, social value at 10% and price at 35%. The lot is also recorded as cancelled.

This requirement is relevant to established orthotics and prosthetics providers able to deliver a joined-up clinical service, manufacture or supply stock, semi-bespoke and bespoke orthotic devices, and provide prosthetic clinical support. A credible competitor would need capability across all three service areas rather than strength in only one product or treatment line. The selected supplier’s position indicates that the buyer values a provider able to manage a broad NHS hospital requirement through a single service model. Relevant experience should include clinical orthotics, managed services, prosthetic service delivery, patient-focused fitting and ongoing support, and reliable fulfilment of medical equipment requirements. Suppliers considering future opportunities with this NHS Trust should be able to demonstrate service quality, social value, operational capacity and value for money in a specialist hospital setting.
