## Summary

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management Limited procured oxygen cylinders, medical gas cylinders and associated cylinder tracking services for healthcare operations in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement is for the supply and management of cylinders containing medical gases, with tracking associated with those cylinders. It is a goods requirement rather than a construction or professional service contract. The buying organisation is Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management Limited, based at 7-8 Silver Fox Way, Newcastle upon Tyne. The procurement is classified under CPV 24111900 for oxygen. The arrangement formalises the buyer’s existing provision of medical gas cylinders and cylinder tracking through an established supplier. Businesses active in medical gas supply, cylinder management or related healthcare logistics would find the subject matter most relevant, particularly where they can support hospital or healthcare-facility requirements.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a direct call-off from the Total Pharmaceutical Gas Solutions Framework, reference LPP/2022/002, Lot 2 for Medical Gas Cylinders and Associated Cylinder Tracking. The tender period ended on 27 July 2026, and the contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 10 February 2029. The award was made on 30 July 2026 to BOC LIMITED, at an awarded value of £70,319.90. The procurement description identifies BOC as the incumbent and the best-value supplier. The requirement was assessed through the framework’s call-off route rather than an open competition. It was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and covers the full cylinder and tracking requirement.

This award shows that Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management Limited has an established, recurring need for medical gas cylinders and associated cylinder tracking. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to supply oxygen and other medical gas cylinders reliably to a healthcare buyer, maintain accurate cylinder-level tracking, and support continuity of supply across the contract requirement. Experience serving hospitals, NHS organisations or comparable healthcare facilities would help demonstrate understanding of clinical supply pressures and delivery controls. The incumbent’s position and the stated framework route indicate that suppliers should be prepared to compete through an appropriate pharmaceutical-gas framework or comparable public-sector purchasing arrangement. The buyer’s classification of the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs also indicates a requirement for substantial organisational capacity rather than a small, standalone supply operation.
