## Summary

The University of Gloucestershire bought dental simulation equipment for training students in its new Dental Hub. The requirement covers dental chairs and phantom heads, with associated ancillary products, for the Dental Hub at Kings Square, Gloucester. This is a goods procurement focused on dental training infrastructure rather than clinical treatment equipment. The relevant business category is dental chairs and simulation equipment (CPV 33192410). The buyer is a public university based in Cheltenham, and the equipment is intended for use at its Gloucester campus. Suppliers serving dental education, simulation laboratories, healthcare training environments or specialist dental equipment markets would find the requirement relevant, particularly those able to provide integrated chairs, phantom heads and related products for a new teaching facility.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award without prior publication of a competition, using the NWUPC Medical/Dental Simulation Training Equipment Framework Agreement (LAB3032). Wrights Health Group was selected as the supplier for the dental simulation equipment and ancillary products. The award was made on 1 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. Its value is £298,439. The underlying tender used limited procurement and evaluated service and fulfilment at 20%, responsible procurement at 20% and price at 60%. The recorded tender status is complete, while the published lot is marked cancelled; the active award and signed contract identify Wrights Health Group as the selected supplier. One bid was recorded.

This award demonstrates established demand from the University of Gloucestershire for specialist dental training equipment to support a new teaching hub. A credible future competitor would need to supply dental chairs and phantom heads as a coordinated package, with suitable ancillary products for an educational simulation environment. The evaluation gives substantial weight to price, but service and fulfilment and responsible procurement are also important, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable delivery, installation or fulfilment arrangements, responsive support and responsible sourcing practices. Experience supplying universities, dental schools, simulation centres or comparable healthcare education facilities would strengthen credibility. The requirement is within the scale of a substantial specialist equipment package and was fulfilled by an SME supplier through an established medical and dental simulation framework.
