## Summary

The procurement process for the title "Bariatric Equipment Hire" was conducted by the East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, an organisation based in Saint Leonards-on-sea, United Kingdom. This tender, categorised under 'goods' and specifically within 'Beds for medical use', involved the temporary rental of specialist medical equipment designed to assist bariatric patients. The procurement followed a selective method via a call-off from the HealthTrust Europe LLP Framework Agreement, referencing "SF053302". This award stage was finalised on 14th July 2025, with the contract period set from 11th August 2025 to 10th August 2028. The contract value was £360,000, awarded to Direct Healthcare Group Limited.

This tender provides significant business opportunities, particularly for companies that specialise in manufacturing or supplying medical equipment with enhanced weight capacity, such as bariatric beds and mobility aids. Large-scale suppliers, like those involved in framework agreements, are well-positioned to benefit, given the procurement method and nature of the contract. Although the contract is not explicitly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), those with the capability to deliver high-quality, specialised healthcare products can anticipate potential growth and increased market presence through such agreements.
