Lots (5)

  • Human Patient Simulators

    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.

    £62,000,000
  • Task Trainers

    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.

    £36,000,000
  • Surgical and Procedural Trainers

    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.

    £52,000,000
  • Immersive Technology/Virtual Clinical environments and Recording

    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.

    £40,000,000
  • Performance Recording Systems & Software

    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.

    £20,000,000
