## Summary

The University of Portsmouth has completed a tender process for the procurement of hyper-realistic manikins, specifically designed for medical training purposes. The procurement, classified under the "Medical aids" industry category, was conducted via a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to the bespoke and unique nature of the requirements. The contract, valued at £204,040, was signed on 16 November 2021 and delivered to the University located in Portsmouth, UK. The status of the tender is complete, and the successful supplier is Lifecast Body Simulation Ltd.

This tender process presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in innovative medical training equipment and educational supplies. Companies that can provide highly specialised products that meet strict lifelike criteria may find a suitable match in this contract. The tailored requirement for manikins that represent diverse ages and ethnicities will attract suppliers capable of bespoke manufacturing and advanced simulation technologies, particularly those with a focus on educational institutions and medical training facilities.

## Notice

The University of Portsmouth had a requirement for a range of hyper realistic manikins produced using a life casting technique. This results in a manikin in a range of ages and ethnicities with no working parts, eliminating the potential for them to be damaged, but which are incredibly life-like in appearance. These hyper realistic manikins provide us with the resources to practice on patients from infants to the elderly, and from any ethnicity we wish. Directly awarded under regulation 32
