Neonatal Equipment, Adult, Paediatric and Neonatal Phototherapy Devices and Associated Accessories

This framework starts on 18 October 2021, runs for 48 months and ends on 17 October 2025. This includes a 24 month extension.

There are three Lots on the framework:

• Lot 1 – Neonatal Incubators and Neonatal Phototherapy Devices
• Lot 2 – Adult and Paediatric Phototherapy Devices.

Equipment Summary
An incubator is used to maintain environmental conditions suitable for a neonate (new-born baby). It is used in preterm births and for some ill, full-term babies. Transport incubators are also available via the framework and used when a sick or premature baby needs to be moved from one hospital, or department, to another.

Jaundice Meters are used to facilitate non-invasive measurement of neonates bilirubin levels, whilst neonatal phototherapy devices are used to treat hyperbilirubinaemia through the application of lights.

UVA and UVB Phototherapy Cabins are adult and paediatric phototherapy devices used to treat a multitude of skin conditions including psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo by way of blue light therapy.
