Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust bought primary batteries and backplates for use across the Trust. This is a goods requirement focused on batteries and associated backplate components, rather than a service, construction or installation contract. The procurement’s title identifies the requirement as trustwide, with the buying organisation based in Basildon. The relevant business area is the manufacture, distribution or supply of batteries and compatible equipment components for NHS or other healthcare settings. Suppliers serving healthcare estates, clinical equipment users or hospital-wide maintenance teams may find this requirement relevant where they can provide the specified Becton Dickinson products or compatible primary battery and backplate items at organisational scale.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Becton Dickinson UK Limited. Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one completed lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 14 September 2026, with a contract period from 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £39,102.50 excluding VAT and £46,923 including VAT. The award was made on 14 September 2026. The selected supplier is the sole named awardee. The outcome shows that the Trust obtained the required batteries and backplates through a non-competitive below-threshold route.

This award provides a clear indication of demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for primary batteries and backplates used across its organisation. A credible future supplier would need dependable access to the specified equipment, strong product compatibility and the ability to supply consistently across a large NHS trust. Relevant capability includes managing repeat or trustwide orders, maintaining stock or reliable replenishment, and supporting healthcare equipment requirements with accurate product identification and fulfilment. Businesses with established relationships with medical-device manufacturers or authorised distribution arrangements may be well placed. Experience supplying NHS organisations, meeting public-sector purchasing requirements and handling deliveries to healthcare sites would strengthen a competitor’s position when this requirement returns.
