The process is in the award stage, with the contract being awarded to Buchanan Orthotics Ltd on 28 February 2025. The contract, valued at £250,000, will run for 12 months, ensuring continuity of orthotics services in the region.

The procurement used a limited method without prior call for competition due to the need for continued clinical service and to avoid delays in healthcare provision as the existing contract ends in February 2025. The project is a service category and covers the UKM6 region. This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in orthotics.

With an emphasis on service continuity and the necessity for detailed specifications, companies that have a track record of providing reliable and high-quality medical supplies are well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Buchanan Orthotics Ltd, which demonstrated its capability by securing this contract, can leverage such opportunities to expand their market presence and reinforce their reputation in the healthcare industry.
