Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, initiated by Supply Chain Coordination Limited, a public authority affiliated with the NHS. The process is for a large-scale procurement titled "Medical Simulations Devices and Technologies," which spans multiple sectors within the healthcare industry. The expected contract period begins on 9th May 2027 and may extend until 8th May 2031.
The procurement will cover two main lots: Lot 1 includes various medical manikins and task trainers, while Lot 2 focuses on immersive technology and services such as VR and AR trainers. Located in London, the buying process uses a framework agreement approach, and future notices are anticipated by 2nd July 2026. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in medical devices, educational simulation technologies, or related training services.
With a significant budget of £210 million (gross value £252 million), it is a prime opportunity for SMEs and organisations that focus on healthcare education and training to engage with NHS Supply Chain. Companies that offer innovative solutions in medical training tools, immersive technologies, or high-quality simulators would find this an ideal market to expand their portfolios, particularly those that can provide scalable and state-of-the-art solutions. The framework setup allows for future engagements and renewals, providing sustainable business growth opportunities in the medical education sector.
Covers full-body manikins that simulate human patients, ranging from basic CPR models to advanced high-fidelity simulators. These are used to train clinical assessment, decision making, and multidisciplinary team responses in realistic scenarios without risk to patients.
This Lot includes specialised training devices designed for practising specific clinical skills (e.g. cannulation, suturing, airway management). These trainers focus on repetitive skill development with realistic anatomy and feedback to support competency assessment.
This Lot comprises simulators for advanced procedural and surgical training (e.g. laparoscopic, robotic, or interventional procedures). These systems replicate anatomy and clinical environments to enable hands on practice, performance measurement, and procedural competency development.
Includes VR/XR/MR technologies, virtual environments, and recording solutions that deliver scenario based training. These solutions enable immersive, interactive learning experiences and support team training, decision making, and debriefing through playback and analysis tools.
This Lot focuses on software solutions for designing, delivering, and analysing simulation training. These systems provide performance tracking, reporting, data analytics, and potentially AI driven insights to support competency development and workforce improvement without supplying physical hardware.
