## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust involves the direct award of a contract for birthing simulators, intended for training purposes. The buyer, located in Wakefield, has completed the procurement under the legal basis of UK legislation 2023/54. Limbs & Things Ltd, a supplier based in Bristol, is the recipient of this contract award, highlighting a mutual collaboration in the medical equipment industry category. The contract, valued at £21,208 gross, is scheduled from 17th December 2025 to 15th December 2026 and has been awarded as goods. Despite being above threshold, the rationale for a direct award is justified as these specialist simulators are unavailable through any framework agreements.

This tender offers a significant opportunity in the simulator industry, especially for large-scale manufacturers such as Limbs & Things Ltd. Businesses specialising in medical equipment and training simulators may find potential growth by engaging in similar contracts. Additionally, smaller enterprises positioned to supply similar niche products may benefit from understanding the direct procurement method employed here, as it reflects opportunities when frameworks are not applicable. Companies with innovative solutions in medical training devices can leverage this insight to enter or expand their footprint within public sector contracts for specialised training aids.
