## Summary

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured a Touchsafe nurse call system, classified as goods. The specified item is portable receivers for calling and paging, forming part of the hospital’s nurse-call arrangements. The buying organisation is the NHS foundation trust in Chester. The process covers one lot, but the published item description does not set out system-wide installation, maintenance or other service requirements. The award identifies the equipment category rather than detailing quantities, technical specifications or the areas of the hospital where the equipment is to be used. This requirement is therefore most directly relevant to suppliers of nurse-call equipment and portable patient or staff paging receivers, rather than to businesses whose offer is limited to unrelated hospital services or general electrical work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust made a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition; one supplier was selected. Edmundson Electrical Limited received the award. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 17 to 18 September 2026. Its gross value is £19,698.13, with a net value of £16,415.11. There was one lot, marked complete. The award identifies portable calling and paging receivers as the goods procured, but no award criteria, evaluation weighting, eligibility requirements or detailed assessment basis are recorded. The outcome is a single-supplier award for equipment, rather than a competed multi-lot contract.

For suppliers assessing comparable future requirements from the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, this award is evidence of demand for Touchsafe nurse-call equipment, specifically portable receivers used for calling and paging. A credible competitor would need to supply equipment suited to nurse-call use and be able to meet the Trust’s requirement for the named system. The process used a direct award without competition, so the selected supplier’s position reflects this procurement route rather than a published comparison of competing bids. The purchase was a small, short-duration supply contract, making relevant product availability and the ability to fulfil a focused equipment requirement more pertinent than the capacity needed for a large, long-term service contract. No particular accreditation, installation capability or maintenance experience is established by the published award details.
