UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is planning to procure resuscitation equipment for use across its community sites in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The requirement covers a range of clinical environments operated by the Trust, and the buyer intends to source a single solution. The stated product category is resuscitation devices (CPV 33172200). This is a goods requirement for suppliers able to provide equipment suitable for use in varied community healthcare settings. The Trust is engaging with the market to understand available products and potential solutions, and to shape a robust specification and procurement strategy before deciding how to take the procurement forward.

The process is at the planning stage: the Trust has signalled its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It plans preliminary market engagement, with the timing described as early November 2026 and a milestone dated 16 November 2026. A further notice is anticipated by 14 December 2026. The indicative contract period is 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2032, with a possible extension to 31 August 2034. The estimated value is £875,000 excluding VAT (£1,050,000 including VAT). The buyer expects to use one lot and source one solution. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable. Market engagement will inform the eventual specification, procurement strategy and approach; no tender procedure or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage.

This preparatory engagement is most relevant to manufacturers, distributors and other suppliers with resuscitation equipment suitable for use across community healthcare settings. Suppliers able to offer a coherent, single-solution range for varied clinical environments may be particularly well placed to help the Trust assess what the market can provide. The buyer is seeking to understand potential solutions and use market input to develop a robust specification and procurement strategy, so suppliers can contribute practical insight into product suitability and the available market offer. The requirement is considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Taking part in this engagement is not part of a formal procurement and does not provide an advantage in any future tender; interested suppliers should treat it as an opportunity to inform preparation, not as a route to secure the contract. No particular accreditations or prior experience requirements are stated.
