## Summary

Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured the lease of mattresses, pumps and cushions for use with its existing hospital beds. The requirement covers patient-handling and support equipment rather than a capital purchase, with the products supplied for use across the Trust’s operations in Preston. The mattresses, pumps and cushions are intended to be compatible with the Trust’s current beds, which was central to the procurement. The main category is mattresses and related patient equipment (CPV 39143112). The buying organisation is a public NHS foundation trust, and the supplier is responsible for providing the leased equipment and associated supplies and services needed for the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly through the HTE framework, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The contract was awarded to Medstrom Ltd, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 for £900,320.05 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. The requirement was described as a seven-year lease, with invoices paid annually. The procurement records one bid. Price was the award criterion, while the direct-award rationale was that Medstrom’s products were compatible with the Trust’s existing equipment. The procurement records an extreme-urgency justification under the applicable procurement rules. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active.

This procurement indicates demand from an NHS acute-care organisation for leased mattresses, pumps and cushions that integrate with an established hospital-bed estate. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate reliable compatibility with existing beds, an ability to provide patient-support and handling equipment at Trust scale, and the operational capacity to manage a long-term lease rather than a one-off sale. Experience supplying hospitals or other healthcare providers would help establish credibility, particularly where equipment must be delivered, maintained and supported as part of a continuing service. A strong competitor would also need a clear commercial model for recurring invoicing and evidence that its products can meet the Trust’s technical and operational requirements.
