## Summary

The University of Exeter procured an R Series Plus defibrillator, classified under CPV 33182100. This is a goods requirement for the university, based in Exeter. The selected product is supplied by Zoll Medical UK Ltd, a medical equipment supplier based in Runcorn. The requirement is focused on supplying the named defibrillator rather than providing a wider clinical service, maintenance programme or works package. Businesses active in the supply of defibrillators and related emergency medical equipment would be the closest commercial match. The buyer is a public authority, so suppliers should be prepared to meet public-sector purchasing and product compliance requirements relevant to medical equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Zoll Medical UK Ltd. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, rather than an open tender. One requirement was completed through this process. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 19 July 2027. Its value is £37,771.20 including tax. The contract is active. The published outcome therefore records a completed low-value purchase of a specific defibrillator from a named supplier, with no competitive evaluation or scored award criteria reported for this procurement.

This outcome is relevant to suppliers of defibrillators, emergency medical devices and associated healthcare equipment that can provide the R Series Plus model or an equivalent requirement when the university next reviews its needs. A credible competitor would need dependable access to the specified product, the ability to supply a public university in Exeter, and the operational capacity to fulfil a purchase of this scale within a defined contract period. Zoll Medical UK Ltd’s selection shows that the buyer accepted a specialist medical-equipment supplier for this requirement. Suppliers monitoring the University of Exeter should therefore track similar equipment purchases and be ready to engage through the buyer’s direct-award or competitive purchasing routes, as appropriate.
