## Summary

The Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for a Down Syndrome Simulation Manikin, aimed at improving the training of clinical staff, particularly new joiners, in handling Down Syndrome patients. This project, classified under the Medical Equipment industry category (CPV code 33100000), was awarded on 11th October 2024 with a contract period from 11th October 2024 to 10th October 2025. The manikin, manufactured by UK 3B Scientific, will be delivered to various locations, including the United Kingdom and other British overseas territories. The procurement method was defined as 'Other,' with a tender value of £11,750 GBP and no associated maintenance costs due to its one-off nature.

This tender opens growth opportunities for businesses involved in producing specialised medical training equipment. Given the specific nature of the product and its exclusive manufacturing by UK 3B Scientific, it highlights niche markets where businesses can innovate and differentiate their offerings. Suppliers of medical simulation and training equipment, particularly those capable of developing highly detailed and realistic simulation tools, would find such opportunities well-aligned with their capabilities. Additionally, the contract's international delivery scope presents chances for businesses with robust logistics and distribution channels.

## Notice

It has been identified by the education and training department of the Trust that the current clinical staff, especially new joiners lack experience of working with down syndrome patients. It was identified that a supplier named 3B Scientific as the only manufacturer of this product and requested a quotation for a specialised down syndrome simulation manikin. Furthermore, after a reviewing this quotation from the supplier, the project team were assured that the product would meet the requirements of the Trust and can be accommodated within the budget available. This manikin is made from a real down-syndrome 14-year-old patient including every little detail such as scars and injuries to provide a real time experience and shall be used for training staff on how to treat and care for patients with such conditions before they work on real patients. Also, the manikin is being bought as a one-off purchase for lifetime and requires no maintenance. Additional information: This is a one-off requirement and does not have any associated maintenance costs.
