## Summary

North Ayrshire Council, a regional or local authority based in Irvine, has completed the procurement process for the supply, delivery, and installation of Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs), AED cabinets, and associated equipment such as pads, batteries, and preparation kits. This contract, identified as NAC/5217, was awarded on 7th July 2026 to Reliance Medical Ltd, a supplier located in Stoke-On-Trent. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure and falls under the goods category within the public services industry. The contract is active, valued at £188,116.66, and is scheduled to run from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2029, with possibilities for an extension until 2031 to cover the UKM93 region.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the production and supply of medical equipment, particularly those specialising in defibrillation technology and related accessories. SMEs like Reliance Medical Ltd have demonstrated competitiveness in this sector, reflecting the potential for similar-sized enterprises to engage in and benefit from such public procurement opportunities. By centralising the purchase and management of AEDs, the contract aims to streamline costs and specifications, offering suppliers the chance to establish long-term partnerships and deliver consistent quality across various services within North Ayrshire Council. Businesses seeking to expand in this niche could leverage these opportunities for growth and strengthened market presence.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

There are currently a number of AED units across several different NAC services, however, there is no framework / contract in place resulting in a variance in cost, specification and lead in time for goods. The AEDs currently owned by NAC are now reaching end of life and as such funding has been allocated to replace the current stock of equipment. The aim of this contract will be to replace existing stock, provide a centralised point of purchase and to improve contract management of the AEDs across the various NAC services.
