## Summary

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a hypoglossal nerve stimulation device for treating patients with obstructive sleep apnoea who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the standard treatment for the condition. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, classified under CPV 33100000. Delivery and use are associated with Bradford Teaching Hospitals at Duckworth Lane, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD9 6RJ. The buying organisation is the NHS foundation trust, and the requirement concerns equipment for specialist patient treatment rather than general hospital supplies or services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 July 2026 at 12 noon, and the contract was awarded on 19 July 2026. NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited was selected as supplier for £447,675 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2028. The published procurement category is goods, and the requirement was treated as a single equipment purchase rather than a multi-lot procurement. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Bradford Teaching Hospitals’ demand for specialist sleep-apnoea treatment equipment and the scale at which the requirement can be bought. Businesses likely to be credible for a future requirement would need to supply hypoglossal nerve stimulation devices for patients who cannot use CPAP, understand their application in obstructive sleep apnoea treatment, and support delivery to an NHS hospital. The route used also shows the importance of access to an appropriate NHS framework and the ability to transact through NHS Supply Chain. Established medical equipment suppliers with relevant product capability, NHS procurement experience and dependable fulfilment arrangements would be best placed to compete.
