## Summary

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured portable fold-up beds built to a hospital specification, for its Corporate Nursing function. This is a goods requirement for hospital beds, rather than a service or construction project. The Trust is based in Doncaster, and the procurement was managed by the Trust. The stated requirement identifies portable beds and a hospital specification, but gives no further breakdown of quantities, features or delivery locations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Birmingham Optical Group Ltd. The Trust used a direct award below the threshold, without competition, for a single lot. The contract was signed on 18 March 2026 and runs from 19 March 2026 to 19 March 2027. Its value is £12,235 excluding VAT and £14,682 including VAT. The award is active, and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria or award basis beyond the direct-award route are set out.

This award shows that the Trust buys portable fold-up beds to a hospital specification through a below-threshold direct award. A supplier seeking to compete credibly for a similar requirement from this buyer would need to supply portable beds that meet hospital-use specifications and be able to fulfil a focused goods contract at modest scale. The selected supplier was Birmingham Optical Group Ltd, a large supplier, showing that this purchase was awarded to an established company; the published procurement details do not establish any particular accreditation, specialist capability or prior experience requirement. Suppliers with a suitable hospital-bed range and the capacity to meet the Trust’s specification are the closest fit for this type of repeat requirement.
