## Summary

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured bed management RFID equipment for use in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement covers goods used to identify, track or manage hospital beds through radio-frequency identification, including magnetic or optical reader equipment. The procurement is categorised as goods and is intended to support bed management operations within the Trust’s healthcare estate. The selected supplier was The Barcode Warehouse Ltd, a large technology supplier specialising in barcode and identification equipment. Businesses with experience supplying RFID hardware, readers and related bed-management equipment to NHS or other healthcare environments would find the requirement most relevant. The opportunity is specifically focused on equipment supply rather than a general hospital technology or facilities-management service.

The contract was awarded to The Barcode Warehouse Ltd on 27 February 2026 at a value of £1,626,908.50. The contract period runs from 18 March 2026 to 18 March 2026. The procurement used a selective route as a call-off from the Countess of Chester Total Inventory Management Systems framework, reference F063, rather than an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 24 December 2025 at 17:00. The award is active and the wider tender is complete. Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust identified the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while it was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award was made as a direct award under the framework.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, this award demonstrates a substantial requirement for bed-management RFID equipment delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to supply and support RFID hardware and magnetic or optical readers at hospital scale, with a clear understanding of bed identification, tracking and inventory-management workflows. Relevant capability would include integrating equipment into healthcare operational environments, managing deployment across the Trust’s facilities in Yorkshire and the Humber, and providing dependable supply and technical support. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so specialist RFID and healthcare-technology businesses may be well placed where they can demonstrate comparable delivery capacity and experience. The route to market also makes framework access important.
