## Summary

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust is seeking beating-heart surgery products for off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB). This technique uses specialist stabilisation equipment instead of a cardiopulmonary bypass machine. The purchase is categorised as cardiac surgery devices and covers one lot. The Trust is based in Stoke-on-Trent; the procurement data does not identify a delivery site, so suppliers should check the tender requirements to establish where the products will be used and delivered.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold procedure. The enquiry deadline was 9 November 2026 at 12 noon, and the bid deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12 noon. The contract was scheduled to run from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2028, with an optional one-year extension. Its estimated value is £22,000 including VAT (£18,333 excluding VAT). Price accounts for 90% of the evaluation and social value for 10%. Bids may be submitted electronically through the stated online system. The process is at tender stage; the published data does not report an award.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to provide products used in off-pump coronary artery bypass procedures, where stabilisation equipment supports surgery without a cardiopulmonary bypass machine. Medical device suppliers with relevant cardiac surgery products and the ability to supply a hospital trust are the natural fit. The tender places strong emphasis on price, while social value also contributes to the assessment. The requirement is a single-lot supply rather than a multi-lot programme, so it is most relevant to businesses able to meet the product specification as a complete package. Suppliers should ensure their offer addresses the clinical use and technical requirements set out in the procurement documents.

## Notice

Beating heart surgery (Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass or OPCAB) utilizes specific stabilization equipment rather than a cardiopulmonary bypass machine.
