Summary of the contracting process

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust is buying pulse oximetry sensor consumables for use with monitoring equipment already deployed in its clinical services. These are medical consumables used to measure patients’ blood oxygen levels. The requirement is intended to maintain compatibility with the existing equipment and continuity of clinical support, including for neonatal monitoring. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust hosts North West London Procurement Services, which manages procurement on the contracting authority’s behalf. The work serves Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust’s clinical services in London. The procurement is for goods, rather than equipment replacement or a wider monitoring service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Masimo Europe Limited through a direct award. The stated rationale is that Masimo is the equipment’s original manufacturer and incumbent provider; switching supplier would require equipment replacement, training and implementation, duplicate costs and resources, and risk disruption to critical clinical services. The award is dated 15 October 2026. Its value is £342,212.50 excluding VAT (£479,097.50 including VAT). The contract period is 2 November 2026 to 31 October 2031, with an option to extend for up to 24 months, subject to the supplier meeting its contractual obligations. There is one lot, marked as suitable for SMEs. The award record is pending.

This requirement favours suppliers able to provide Masimo-compatible pulse oximetry sensors and support equipment already installed in the Trust’s clinical services. For a future competition, a credible alternative would need to demonstrate reliable compatibility with the existing asset base and continuity of support, including for neonatal monitoring, while addressing the clinical risks of changing established systems. The buyer’s stated case highlights the practical burden of equipment replacement, implementation and staff training, as well as duplicated costs and potential disruption to critical care. Suppliers with proven medical consumables supply capability and experience supporting deployed monitoring equipment would therefore be better placed to compete if the requirement returns to market. The lot was marked suitable for SMEs, although the selected supplier is a large company.

Notice Description

Purchase requirements of pulse oximetry sensors cunsumables

Procurement Information

Masimo is the original equipment manufacturer and incumbent provider. The proposed award will ensure continuity of support for equipment already deployed within clinical services and will maintain compatibility with the existing asset base. A change of supplier at this stage would necessitate the replacement of established equipment, introduce implementation and training requirements, create duplication of costs and resources, and result in operational disruption to critical clinical services.
