## Summary

The University of Bedfordshire bought paramedic simulation equipment for its Faculty of Health and Social Sciences. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, covering equipment used to support paramedic training and simulation. The buyer is based at University Square, Luton, and the equipment is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement covers one completed requirement. The named category is medical equipment, classified under CPV 33100000. The opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of simulation equipment for healthcare education, particularly those able to supply equipment for paramedic teaching environments. It is a goods contract rather than a service, construction or facilities-management requirement, with the University of Bedfordshire as the purchasing organisation and user of the equipment.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct procedure below the relevant threshold, without competition. One supplier, UK 3B SCIENTIFIC LIMITED, was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 August 2027. Its value is £67,410.60 excluding VAT, or £80,892.72 including VAT. The procurement consisted of one lot, which was completed and awarded in full. The published data describes the purchase as medical equipment for paramedic simulation. The supplier is based in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset. The contract is recorded as active, and the award is recorded as active. No competitive evaluation basis is stated because the route was a direct award without competition.

This award indicates demand from the University of Bedfordshire for specialist medical and paramedic simulation equipment within higher-education teaching. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would be manufacturers or established distributors able to provide reliable healthcare training equipment, understand simulation-led paramedic education and support delivery to a university faculty. Credibility would come from a focused product range, evidence of supplying comparable medical or educational institutions, dependable fulfilment and the operational capacity to support the equipment throughout its use. The awarded supplier is identified as an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that a smaller specialist business can satisfy this buyer’s requirement. Businesses tracking university healthcare-education purchasing should treat this as evidence of a defined, specialist demand rather than general medical supplies.
