## Summary

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust is procuring single-use, sterile fast-lock cardiac pacing cables. Each cable has a locking safety slide bar and connects temporary epicardial pacing wires or electrodes to an external pacemaker or monitoring system. This is a supply of cardiovascular devices for the Trust, based in Stoke-on-Trent. The requirement is for one product type, rather than a wider clinical service or works contract.

The Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 28 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the bid submission deadline was 4 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2027. The estimated value is £22,500 excluding VAT (£27,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on price, weighted at 90%, and social value, weighted at 10%. Bids may be submitted electronically through the buyer’s online procurement portal.

This opportunity is suited to medical-device manufacturers, distributors and suppliers able to provide sterile, single-use cardiac pacing cables with a locking safety slide bar, compatible with temporary epicardial pacing wires or electrodes and external pacemakers or monitoring systems. Suppliers need to be able to supply the specified device to an NHS trust for the contract period. The requirement is focused on a defined product rather than a broad range of cardiovascular equipment, and the evaluation is strongly weighted towards price, with social value also considered. Suppliers with a competitively priced product and a credible social-value offer are best placed to compete.
