Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust purchased one polysomnography system for use in its healthcare services. Polysomnography systems are medical diagnostic equipment used to monitor and record sleep-related measurements, such as breathing, heart activity and movement, to support the assessment of sleep disorders. The requirement falls within medical equipment supply (CPV 33100000). The buying organisation is based in Leeds, and the procurement relates to supplying the equipment to the Trust rather than to construction, consultancy or routine facilities services. This is a single-item goods requirement, so businesses specialising in sleep diagnostics, hospital monitoring equipment or comparable clinical devices would be the closest commercial match. The selected supplier was S-Med Ltd, a medical equipment business based in Redditch.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. S-Med Ltd was selected as supplier for the single polysomnography system. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026, with delivery and performance scheduled from 10 November 2026 to 10 November 2031. Its value is £24,710 excluding VAT and £29,652 including VAT. The underlying tender reached complete status, and the award is active. The published data records a straightforward purchase of one medical equipment system rather than a multi-lot competition. The procurement was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023, with the direct-award route identified as below threshold and without competition.

This award demonstrates established demand from a large teaching hospital for specialist sleep-diagnostics equipment, with a requirement extending beyond initial purchase into a five-year contract period. A credible competitor for similar NHS requirements would need to supply polysomnography systems suitable for clinical use and understand the operational needs of hospital sleep services. Relevant capability may include configuring, installing and supporting diagnostic monitoring equipment, integrating it into clinical environments, and providing dependable technical assistance throughout the equipment’s working life. Suppliers with proven experience serving NHS trusts or comparable hospitals would be well placed to demonstrate understanding of governance, clinical assurance, staff use and continuity of service. Specialist medical-device distributors and manufacturers with a strong sleep-monitoring portfolio are the closest fit.
