## Summary

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited bought a patient-specific jaw joint implant for Sunderland Royal Hospital. This is a medical goods requirement involving a bespoke surgical implant, within the broader category of surgical implants (CPV 33184100). Delivery and use are associated with Sunderland Royal Hospital in Sunderland. The buying organisation operates from the hospital and is responsible for the purchase. The requirement is specific to a patient rather than a general stock supply, so relevant businesses are likely to be manufacturers or specialist medical technology suppliers able to design, produce and supply customised jaw joint implants for clinical use. The work is focused on supplying the implant itself, rather than construction, facilities management or general hospital consumables.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the Public Procurement Act 2023. Meridian Technique Limited was awarded the single lot and holds the active contract. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026, has a value of £17,514.20 excluding VAT (£21,017.04 including VAT), and runs from 28 August 2026 to 29 August 2026. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive scoring exercise. The outcome shows a short, single-purchase arrangement for one patient-specific surgical implant, with the selected supplier responsible for supplying the required item to the hospital.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Sunderland Royal Hospital’s buyer for highly specialised, patient-specific surgical implants. Suppliers best placed to compete when a similar requirement returns would be medical implant manufacturers or specialist distributors with the technical capability to produce bespoke jaw joint components, translate clinical requirements into an implant design, and supply products suitable for surgical use. Credibility would also depend on reliable clinical and technical support, quality-controlled manufacturing, and the ability to fulfil a discrete hospital requirement rather than only supplying standard catalogue products. Meridian Technique Limited was recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the buyer has previously placed this specialised requirement with an established medical technology business. Experience supplying NHS or hospital clinical teams would strengthen a competitor’s position.
