UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust is buying sterilisation products for use in its healthcare services. The requirement covers sterilisation, disinfection and hygiene devices, so it is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical-supplies businesses able to provide these goods. The buying organisation is an NHS Trust based at Royal Stoke University Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent. The procurement is classified as goods rather than services or works, and the requirement is arranged as a single lot. Suppliers should consider whether their product range, supply arrangements and ability to support NHS healthcare operations match the Trust’s needs for sterilisation products and associated hygiene equipment. The opportunity concerns the supply of products rather than installation, construction or consultancy work.

The procurement reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 16 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers had to be submitted electronically by 23 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2028, with a 12-month extension option taking the maximum end date to 11 October 2029. The estimated value is £60,000 excluding VAT, or £72,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 90% to price and 10% to quality, making commercial pricing the dominant factor while retaining a quality assessment. Electronic submission is allowed through the stated online portal.

This opportunity suits suppliers with an established range of sterilisation, disinfection and hygiene devices and the ability to supply an NHS Trust reliably. Manufacturers, authorised distributors and medical-supplies specialists may be well placed to compete where they can demonstrate product quality, consistent availability and suitable fulfilment arrangements. The evaluation gives price nine times the weighting of quality, so businesses with efficient sourcing, competitive pricing and controlled distribution costs are likely to be better positioned. Suppliers should also be able to prepare a quality response addressing the Trust’s requirements and submit an offer electronically. The requirement is relatively focused on product supply, making it more relevant to businesses with healthcare procurement experience than to general contractors or service providers.
