Summary of the contracting process

NHS Ayrshire & Arran bought anaesthetic machines for use across Ayrshire and Arran. This is a goods procurement for hospital anaesthetic equipment, classified under CPV 33195000 for patient-monitoring equipment. The requirement was handled by the health board and relates to its clinical services. The scope is focused on supplying anaesthetic machines rather than consultancy, maintenance or construction work. Businesses supplying medical equipment to NHS hospitals, particularly anaesthesia and operating-theatre equipment, are the most relevant audience. Suppliers serving Ayrshire and Arran or able to deliver and support equipment across the area would be well placed to understand the operational context and delivery requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited direct-award procedure without prior publication of a competition. It was a single-lot purchase made directly from the NP173/23 arrangement covering patient monitoring, anaesthetic machines, ventilators and ECG machines. Mindray UK Ltd was awarded the requirement after one bid was recorded; the bid was electronic and came from an SME. The contract is active, was signed on 21 July 2026, and has a value of £194,914.75 including the stated GBP currency. The recorded contracting route was an award outside the scope of the applicable directive. The procurement covered the purchase of anaesthetic machines for NHS Ayrshire & Arran.

For a supplier assessing future demand from NHS Ayrshire & Arran, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for anaesthetic machines at hospital scale and a purchasing route linked to the NP173/23 arrangement. Credible competitors would need to supply clinical-grade anaesthesia equipment, understand operating-theatre and patient-monitoring environments, and meet NHS purchasing and delivery requirements. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be served by a specialist medical-equipment business rather than only a major general healthcare contractor. Relevant capability includes dependable product supply, clinical and technical knowledge, installation or commissioning support where required, and the ability to work with a health board across Ayrshire and Arran.
