## Summary

The Bristol & Weston NHS Purchasing Consortium is currently in the tender stage for the procurement titled "Provision of Volumetric Pumps & Associated Consumables," targeting the medical equipment industry. This project is located in Bristol and has a total contract value of £2,310,000. The procurement follows a restricted procedure and aims to secure the supply of 500 volumetric pumps, along with required training and installation support. The tender period will close on 20th March 2018, while the contract is expected to commence on 1st August 2018 and last until 31st July 2025, with potential extensions thereafter.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment, particularly those who can provide volumetric pumps and related consumables. Companies that are well-suited to participate include SMEs with experience in healthcare supply chains and capabilities in installation and training. Given the long-term nature of the contract, successful bidders can establish a sustained relationship with the NHS, potentially leading to further contracts in the medical sector.

## Notice

The North Bristol NHS Trust has investigated a number of volumetric pumps on the market as the units currently in use within the Trust are coming to the end of their useful life. An extensive examination of the Trust's requirements has been undertaken and a detailed specification has been prepared. The Trust has decided to frame this procurement in terms of either bids for a lease deal or a placement deal in order to offer prospective bidders the greatest amount of flexibility. Due to the intention to contract over seven (7) years (with an additional x2 twelve (12) months extension period) it was felt that the optimal route to market in terms of effectiveness and efficiency would be via a restricted OJEU process. The offer to the market consists of the supply of five hundred (500) volumetric pumps with the ability to perform across all adult, paediatric and neonatal environments. The successful bidder will be required to support installation of the machines and training for operational staff members. Consumables associated with operating the volumetric pumps will also be included in the bid.
