Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured three MR1 ventilators for delivery in Cambridge. This is a medical equipment purchase, specifically ventilators, for the Trust’s hospital services. The requirement was packaged as a single lot, covering the three machines. The named supplier, Hamilton Medical UK Ltd, is based in Sutton Coldfield; delivery is in Cambridge. The tender title and description identify the equipment as MR1 ventilators, with no further technical specification in the procurement details provided. Suppliers whose business includes supplying ventilators and supporting hospital equipment purchases are the closest fit to this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Hamilton Medical UK Ltd. The Trust signed the contract on 28 September 2026; the award is active. The contract runs from 30 September to 29 December 2026. Its value is £88,934.85 excluding VAT, or £106,721 gross. The process used a below-threshold route; the specific procedure is not described. There was one lot for the three ventilators. The published outcome does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described further.

This purchase shows Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s demand for specialist hospital ventilators, bought as a small, defined equipment package rather than a broad programme of clinical services. Hamilton Medical UK Ltd, an SME supplier, secured the contract, showing that a specialist supplier can compete for this type of requirement. A credible competitor when a similar requirement returns would need to supply MR1 ventilators and meet the Trust’s equipment specification, delivery needs and procurement requirements. The available details do not identify particular clinical accreditations, servicing obligations or technical thresholds, so no narrower capability profile can be drawn from this procurement.
