Summary of the contracting process

NHS Ayrshire & Arran bought custom theatre packs for radiology and cardiology procedures, using the NP59714 requirement. These are packaged medical consumables assembled for specific clinical procedures, rather than general hospital supplies. The procurement falls within medical consumables (CPV 33140000) and covers one requirement for the Ayrshire and Arran area. The buyer is the health board responsible for services in that area. The packs are intended to support theatre-based radiology and cardiology work, so relevant suppliers are those able to design, assemble and supply procedure-specific packs for healthcare settings. The requirement concerns goods supplied to NHS Ayrshire & Arran, with delivery or use across Ayrshire and Arran.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure using a direct award without prior publication of a competition notice. Kimal plc was selected for the single lot. The contract is active, was signed on 2 August 2026 and is valued at £99,209.14. The procurement used one lot covering the custom radiology and cardiology theatre packs. The award followed the buyer’s stated direct-award rationale for using the NP59714 custom theatre-pack requirement. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The available outcome shows a completed award and an active contract, rather than an opportunity still progressing through tender evaluation.

This award indicates a defined NHS requirement for procedure-specific theatre packs supporting both radiology and cardiology. A credible future competitor would need to supply consistent, clinically appropriate packs configured around the buyer’s theatre procedures and NP59714 requirement. Capability in medical consumables, pack design, component sourcing, assembly, quality control and dependable healthcare distribution would be directly relevant. Suppliers should be able to support an NHS health board operating across Ayrshire and Arran, manage repeatable production at the scale of a regional health service and provide reliable delivery for clinical use. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can suit a specialist business with focused healthcare manufacturing or supply capability rather than only a large corporate provider.
