## Summary

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a staff wheelchair funded through an Access to Work grant. This is a goods requirement for a wheelchair and associated wheelchair parts or accessories, classified under CPV 33193220. The purchase was intended to meet the needs of a member of the Trust’s staff. The buying organisation is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Bradford Royal Infirmary in Bradford. The requirement is specific rather than a broad wheelchair supply programme: it concerns one staff wheelchair awarded through an individual grant. Suppliers serving NHS organisations, employers or grant-funded mobility users with suitable wheelchair products and associated components would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to RGK WHEELCHAIRS LTD. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a waiver arrangement. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 29 April 2026 and ran from 8 May 2026 to 7 June 2026. Its value was £13,190 excluding VAT and £15,828 including VAT. The contract remained active for the stated period. The selected supplier was RGK WHEELCHAIRS LTD. The published outcome therefore records a single-supplier purchase for the complete requirement, rather than a multi-lot or competitive award. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a tender competition.

This award is a useful benchmark for suppliers of specialist wheelchairs and related wheelchair components targeting NHS staff-support requirements. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable staff wheelchair for an individual Access to Work grant, understand the practical requirements of wheelchair users, and supply the associated equipment needed for safe and effective use. The selected supplier was a large specialist wheelchair company, indicating that product expertise, established supply capability and the ability to fulfil a focused individual requirement were relevant to the purchase. The route also shows that this buyer has used a below-threshold waiver and direct procurement for a specific grant-funded need, so suppliers tracking comparable NHS mobility requirements should understand both specialist product delivery and the buyer’s procurement controls.
