Summary of the contracting process

Dundee and Angus College procured medical simulation and training equipment for health and social care education. The requirement covers equipment for learners undertaking placements with NHS Tayside and NHS Tayside staff undertaking professional development. The equipment is intended to replicate the clinical environment used in NHS Tayside settings, supporting consistent, safe and relevant training. Delivery is to the College’s Gardyne Campus on Gardyne Road in Dundee. The procurement is for goods, classified under CPV 33100000 for medical equipment and CPV 39162200 for teaching equipment. Dundee and Angus College acted as the buying organisation and is also a central purchasing body. The requirement was organised as a single lot and concerns a specific equipment supply rather than construction, consultancy or general training services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Simulaids Ltd. It used a direct award under the Medical Simulation and Training Equipment Framework Agreement LAB3032NW, following the framework’s business-related justification process. The underlying framework was established through an open procedure. The award relates to one lot, with one bid recorded and one supplier identified as capable of meeting the College’s requirements. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £75,000. Simulaids Ltd is the named supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the framework direct-award route, with the key justification being the need to supply equipment identical to that used in NHS Tayside settings. The award was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement for suppliers of medical simulation and training equipment serving health and social care education. A credible competitor for this buyer would need to supply equipment that closely matches clinical equipment already deployed in NHS Tayside settings, rather than offering generic alternatives. Product compatibility, consistency across learning and clinical environments, and suitability for safe professional training are therefore central capabilities. Relevant suppliers are likely to understand simulation-based education, clinical training environments and the needs of learners and NHS staff undertaking development. Experience supplying public-sector colleges, healthcare organisations or NHS-linked training programmes would strengthen credibility. Because the purchase was made through a medical simulation and training equipment framework, suppliers seeking similar work should be able to operate through an appropriate framework route and support a single, clearly defined equipment requirement.
