UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust purchased two fully automatic ear, nose and throat (ENT) examination chairs. This is a goods requirement for medical equipment, intended for use by the Trust in Leeds. The scope is focused rather than a broad clinical equipment supply: the purchase covers two chairs for ENT services. The buyer is a large NHS teaching hospital organisation serving patients through its Leeds facilities. Businesses relevant to this requirement would be manufacturers, distributors or specialist medical-equipment suppliers able to provide fully automatic ENT chairs and support their use in a hospital setting. The procurement relates specifically to equipment supply, rather than clinical staffing, building works, maintenance services or general healthcare provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. Chanter Biomed Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 31 December 2026 to 31 December 2031. Its value is £19,788.86 excluding VAT, or £23,746.63 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract concerns the purchase of two ENT chairs and is classified as medical equipment. No separate award criteria or eligibility requirements are set out in the procurement information.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the requirement provides a clear indication of Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust’s demand for specialist ENT examination equipment. A credible future competitor would need to supply fully automatic ENT chairs that meet the practical needs of hospital ENT services, with sufficient capacity to deliver a small equipment order reliably. Relevant businesses are likely to be specialist medical-equipment manufacturers, authorised distributors and healthcare equipment suppliers with experience supplying NHS or comparable hospital customers. The successful supplier’s position also shows that a focused equipment provider can meet this type of requirement through a direct, below-threshold purchasing route. Companies tracking this buyer should therefore maintain a clear ENT equipment range and be able to respond efficiently to similar single-site requirements.
