## Summary

Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust procured a total pharmaceutical gas solution comprising medical gas cylinders and associated cylinder tracking. The requirement is for the supply of medical gases in cylinders, together with the tracking capability needed to manage those cylinders. The work serves the Trust’s sites across North East England and Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a goods procurement focused specifically on medical gases, rather than a general healthcare supply or clinical service. The requirement was placed through the London Procurement Partnership framework’s lot for medical gas cylinders and tracking.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BOC Ltd on 29 May 2026. It was a direct framework call-off, using the London Procurement Partnership framework, rather than a separate open competition. The awarded contract value is £120,000. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 9 February 2029, stated as 32 months. The purchase covered medical gas cylinders and cylinder tracking across the Trust’s North East England and Yorkshire and the Humber locations. The release identifies the framework route and selected supplier, but provides no separate scoring or evaluation criteria to report. The procurement was classified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering this requirement when it next returns to market, the award demonstrates demand from Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust for an integrated medical-gas cylinder supply and tracking service across sites in two northern English regions. A credible competitor would need to supply medical gas cylinders and provide associated cylinder tracking, while supporting a geographically distributed NHS customer. The successful supplier, BOC Ltd, was a large company, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this indicates a requirement likely to favour established suppliers with the capacity to deliver the combined supply and tracking need. The route used was a framework call-off, so suppliers would need access to an appropriate purchasing framework to compete through the same route.
