Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured medical oxygen and other medical gases for use at the hospital in Liverpool. The requirement covers the supply of medical gases, classified as goods.

The procurement was completed and awarded to BOC Limited. It was a single-lot, direct award below the applicable threshold, made without competition. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April to 27 July 2026. Its value is £59,339.28 excluding tax, or £74,174.10 including tax. The published data identifies one supplier and one award; it does not provide a separate award date.

This award shows that the Trust buys medical oxygen and other medical gases through a direct, below-threshold route. A credible supplier for a comparable requirement would need to provide the medical gases needed by a heart and chest hospital and support their supply over a defined contract period. BOC Limited, a large supplier, was selected. The procurement does not set out specific technical standards, accreditations or service requirements, so the evidence here is limited to the product range and buyer.
