## Summary

The University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust is conducting a pre-market engagement for the provision of a full Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) Therapy Pathway. This engagement invites organisations to share their capabilities in delivering gas-therapy and respiratory devices. The process, currently in the planning stage, aims to gauge market interest and feasibility without committing to a procurement exercise. Key dates include the engagement end date on 10th March 2025. The project focuses on serving patients referred by healthcare professionals, with delivery addresses in Stoke, West Midlands, United Kingdom.

This pre-market engagement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical devices and respiratory therapy. Companies capable of providing complete therapy pathways involving MAD would find this exercise particularly beneficial. Although this engagement is not a direct invitation to tender, participation can help businesses understand potential future demands and influence the design of future procurement opportunities. Firms with experience in medical device provision, especially those not categorised as SMEs or VCSEs, stand to gain valuable insights and potential future contracts.
