Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Brookes University procured neonatal medical training manikins and task trainers for practising the Newborn and Infant Physical Examination. This is a supply of clinical education simulators and training aids, intended to support practical learning in newborn and infant examination. Delivery was specified across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is for organisations able to supply specialist neonatal and infant examination training equipment for a university setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SIM & SKILLS LIMITED. Oxford Brookes University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2031. Its value is £60,085 including gross value as reported. The award is active, and the contract is active. The stated purpose was provision of neonatal medical training manikins and task trainers for practising the Newborn and Infant Physical Examination; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates a university requirement for specialist neonatal and infant examination simulators and task trainers used in clinical skills teaching. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement should be able to provide equipment suited to practising the Newborn and Infant Physical Examination and support delivery across multiple English regions. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this scale of supply was delivered by an SME. The buying route was a direct award without competition, so the award does not provide evidence of a competitive evaluation or criteria that a future supplier could target. Credibility for a similar requirement rests on a relevant product range and the capacity to fulfil a multi-region university supply.
