Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured insurance for training manikins used to help trainee doctors learn. The requirement is property insurance covering the Trust’s training manikins, supporting their use in medical training. The buying organisation is Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, based in Basildon. The service is property insurance (CPV 66515200).

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Elevate Healthcare Inc. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award date was 20 October 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract period runs from 7 January 2027 to 6 January 2029, for two years. The contract value is £35,506.10 excluding VAT (£42,607.10 including VAT). The procurement was arranged as a single lot. The published information does not describe evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for insurance specifically covering medical training manikins used by trainee doctors. Suppliers competing for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to insure these specialist training assets and provide property cover suited to their use in a clinical education setting. Experience assessing and covering equipment used in medical training would help establish credibility with the Trust. The previous purchase was made by direct award without competition, so suppliers should be prepared to understand the buyer’s procurement route and how it applies to a future purchase of this type.
