AWARD OUTCOME
What happened
The published record reports an active award and an active contract to KEYMED (MEDICAL & INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT) LIMITED, with a contract value of £37,015.66 and an explicit signature date of 26 August 2026. However, the linked lot is marked cancelled and describes an anaesthetic machine, while the overall notice describes endoscopy scopes, stacks and a drying cabinet. The supplied data does not resolve this conflict.
Published outcomeOne supplier is named for award 095696-2026-1. The contract record is explicitly marked active and includes a signed date; this supports reporting a signed contract record, subject to the material scope and lot-status inconsistency.
Market significanceThis is a low-value NHS direct award under an NHS Supply Chain framework, but the inconsistent endoscopy and anaesthesia descriptions mean the precise requirement cannot be stated reliably.
