Summary of the contracting process

North East London NHS Foundation Trust procured Philips HeartStart defibrillators for use in its services. This is a goods requirement for the supply of emergency medical equipment rather than installation, maintenance or a wider clinical service. The procurement covered one requirement for HeartStart defibrillators, classified under CPV 33182100. Delivery is specified for the United Kingdom. The named buying organisation is North East London NHS Foundation Trust, based in Ilford, Essex. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and medical equipment suppliers able to provide Philips HeartStart defibrillators and manage supply to an NHS foundation trust. It is a focused equipment purchase, so businesses offering unrelated office, clinical or general facilities services would not be aligned with its stated scope.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was run as a below-threshold tender using a procurement method recorded as unknown. NICHE OFFICE SOLUTIONS LTD was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 7 September 2026, with a contract period from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2027. The contract value is £15,085 excluding VAT and £18,102 including VAT. The published information identifies the equipment requirement and the successful supplier but does not set out an award scoring basis or detailed eligibility conditions. This outcome indicates a relatively small, single-supplier supply contract rather than a multi-lot or framework arrangement.

This procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for Philips HeartStart defibrillators supplied through a below-threshold route, with a single supplier appointed for a focused equipment contract. Competitors preparing for similar requirements from North East London NHS Foundation Trust would need reliable access to the specified Philips HeartStart range, the ability to supply compliant emergency medical equipment, and dependable order fulfilment for a public healthcare buyer. Relevant businesses include manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers, particularly smaller firms able to handle a contained NHS supply requirement. Credibility would also depend on showing that products are genuine, fit for the intended emergency-use purpose and supported by a dependable distribution and customer-service operation across the United Kingdom.
