## Summary

The University of East Anglia (UEA), a public authority within the sub-central government of the United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for a purchasing platform aimed at acquiring health and social care equipment for teaching purposes. This initiative supports the education of healthcare students, such as nurses, paramedics, and midwives, by providing equipment that mirrors what is used within the NHS. The contract, valued at GBP 200,000, commenced on 20 August 2025 and will conclude on 31 July 2029. The procurement was executed through a direct method, below threshold without competition, and is classified under the industry category of medical equipment. This award took place in the Norwich region (UKH15), with the NHS Supply Chain being the supplier named in the contract signed on 19 August 2025.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of medical equipment, particularly those specialised in educational tools for healthcare training. Companies that are capable of meeting the specific needs of educational institutions and demonstrate alignment with NHS standards will find this contract especially appealing. Large-scale suppliers, like NHS Supply Chain, are ideal candidates for such contracts, given the requirement for standardised equipment that aligns with real-world medical environments. As a completed procurement, businesses seeking similar opportunities might focus efforts on becoming compliant suppliers to sub-central government entities like the UEA, thereby enhancing their growth prospects in the education sector.

## Notice

The UEA requires specific goods/equipment for teaching healthcare professional students, such as nurses, paramedics and midwives who go out on practical work placements in the NHS as part of their learning. To provide the best possible practice, it is required to use the same equipment that is available in the NHS to replicate their in training.
