## Summary

Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured orthopaedic partial knee replacement implants, classified as orthopaedic implants (CPV 33183100). The requirement concerns goods used in partial knee replacement procedures rather than clinical services, installation or construction. The buyer is based at Liverpool Road, Chester, and the awarded items are intended for delivery across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. This is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers able to provide partial knee replacement implant systems for NHS hospital use and support delivery across a broad English footprint.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure described as below threshold and without competition. It comprised one lot. Zimmer Biomet UK Limited was awarded the requirement, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 January 2028, and is valued at £30,000 excluding VAT or £36,000 including VAT. The contracting process is below the relevant threshold. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the orthopaedic implant goods, but does not set out a competitive evaluation basis. This was a single-supplier award rather than a multi-supplier or lot-split outcome.

This procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for partial knee replacement implants, with demand spanning hospital activity across England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven range of orthopaedic partial knee replacement implants, the technical and regulatory capability to supply medical devices to NHS organisations, and reliable distribution across multiple English regions. The awarded supplier is a large medical-device business, indicating that established manufacturing capacity, specialist product expertise and the operational resilience to fulfil geographically dispersed hospital orders are relevant strengths. Suppliers should also be able to work through the buyer’s direct procurement route and demonstrate dependable fulfilment for a focused implant requirement rather than offering general healthcare products.
