UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought Fit Patient Pack 25 laboratory packs, identified by product code FITPAC25CHM-001. This is a medical equipment supply requirement for use in hospital laboratory settings. The listed delivery coverage spans England, from the North East and North West through Yorkshire and the Midlands to the East, London, the South East and the South West. The procurement has one lot, covering the stated pack requirement. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust based in Crewe.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust selected Mast Group Limited through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 24 April 2026 and runs from 24 to 25 April 2026. Its value is £83,916 excluding VAT, or £100,699.20 including VAT. The award is for the single lot of laboratory packs. The published procurement details do not set out an evaluation formula or scored award criteria, so the basis for choosing the supplier beyond the limited competition route is not stated.

This award demonstrates a hospital trust requirement for Fit Patient Pack 25 laboratory packs, rather than a broad laboratory equipment or services contract. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be able to source or manufacture the specified packs and supply them for hospital use, with the operational capacity to fulfil an order across the stated English delivery coverage. The selected supplier is Mast Group Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of this scale was able to deliver the requirement. The competition was limited and below threshold, so a credible future competitor would need to be positioned to engage with a restricted competition and demonstrate a close match to the specified product.
