## Summary

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management procured a custom orthopaedic implant, covering its design and manufacture. This is a goods requirement for a patient-specific or otherwise individually specified implant rather than a standard catalogue product. The relevant business category is orthopaedic implants (CPV 33183100). The buyer is Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management, a healthcare facilities organisation based in North Shields. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The requirement is concentrated in a single procurement lot and is associated with the buyer’s direct purchase of a custom implant. Suppliers relevant to this type of work are specialist orthopaedic implant manufacturers and design-and-manufacture businesses able to turn clinical or technical requirements into a finished implant for healthcare use.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with Alder Ortho selected as supplier. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 4 September to 3 October 2026. Its value is £13,460 excluding VAT, or £16,152 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the single lot and the purchase is for the custom implant described above. The published outcome shows a completed tender rather than an ongoing competition, so the commercial significance is the buyer’s recorded purchasing route and requirement, not an opportunity to submit a response under this process.

This procurement indicates demand from Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management for a specialist supplier able to design and manufacture custom orthopaedic implants. A credible future competitor would need technical expertise in bespoke implant design, manufacturing controls appropriate to orthopaedic medical products, and the capacity to deliver an individually specified item to a healthcare buyer. Alder Ortho is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be served by a focused specialist rather than only a large corporate manufacturer. Businesses with a proven custom-implant portfolio, suitable quality and regulatory systems, dependable production capability and experience interpreting clinical or surgical requirements would be well placed when this buyer next sources the same type of requirement.
