Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured sleep diagnostic kits, classified as diagnostic devices. The requirement was for the supply of kits used in sleep diagnostics. Delivery was in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is recorded. The procurement was a single-lot purchase of goods, awarded to ZOLL Medical UK Limited. This is a hospital supply requirement rather than a contract for diagnostic services or clinical staffing. Suppliers whose business includes medical diagnostic equipment and the supply of sleep-testing kits will find the subject most relevant.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. ZOLL Medical UK Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 4 to 5 September 2026. Its value is £54,000 excluding VAT and £64,800 including VAT. The award is recorded as active, and the contract remains active. The published procurement data does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements; the direct award was made without a competitive evaluation.

This award demonstrates demand from Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for supplied sleep diagnostic kits, at a scale represented by a short, single-lot goods contract rather than an ongoing service. ZOLL Medical UK Limited was the selected supplier. Businesses best placed to compete when this requirement returns will have a credible range of sleep diagnostic kits, established medical-device supply capability and the capacity to fulfil a focused hospital order. The buyer used a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the process provides evidence of the route used for this purchase, not a competitive scoring model or stated technical qualifications. Suppliers should be able to meet the Trust’s requirement for diagnostic equipment and deliver within the specified operational window.
