UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust is buying Flow-I ventilator consumables, classified as ventilators and categorised as goods. The requirement is for consumable supplies used with Flow-I ventilators rather than for clinical staffing, maintenance or construction work. The buyer is an NHS Trust based at Royal Stoke University Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent, and the contract activity is associated with that organisation. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide the specified Flow-I-compatible consumables for use in the Trust’s healthcare operations. The procurement is arranged as a single requirement, covering the supply of the goods to the buying organisation. Businesses that manufacture, distribute or otherwise supply Flow-I ventilator consumables are the most directly relevant potential bidders.

The procurement reached the tender stage: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bidders could submit electronically, and enquiries were due by 22 September 2026 at 12:00. Offers were due by 29 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2028, with a 12-month extension option taking the maximum possible end date to 18 October 2029. Its estimated value is £56,666 excluding VAT, or £68,000 including VAT. The requirement is a single lot. The stated award criterion is percentage, so bidders should consult the procurement documents to understand how percentage-based evaluation will be applied.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers with an established capability to source, manufacture or distribute Flow-I ventilator consumables and to fulfil orders for an NHS hospital trust. Relevant businesses are likely to include specialist medical-device suppliers, authorised distributors and manufacturers whose product range includes consumables compatible with Flow-I ventilators. The requirement offers a defined supply opportunity over a multi-year period, with the possibility of a further 12-month extension. Suppliers should be able to identify the exact products required, demonstrate that their goods meet the specification, and manage reliable delivery to the Trust’s operations in Stoke-on-Trent. The published information does not set out particular accreditations, staffing qualifications, turnover thresholds or previous-contract requirements, so commercial fit will centre on product compatibility, supply reliability and the percentage-based evaluation.
