Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a replacement lithotriptor for its extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) service. The existing Modulith lithotriptor had reached the end of its operational lifespan, creating a requirement for new medical equipment used to break up kidney stones with focused shockwaves. This is a goods procurement for a specialist hospital device, classified as a lithotripter (CPV 33153000). The equipment is for the Trust’s services in Bradford, at Duckworth Lane, Bradford, West Yorkshire. The buyer is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-equipment suppliers able to provide lithotripsy systems for NHS hospital use, including associated delivery and equipment replacement support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 June 2026 to Storz Medical (UK) Limited. The awarded contract value is £290,000, inclusive of the stated GBP currency. It was run as a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 1 May 2026 to 31 May 2026. The award is active. The requirement was treated as a single goods procurement for the lithotriptor replacement. The published outcome identifies Storz Medical (UK) Limited as the selected supplier. The procurement was not reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist lithotripsy equipment to replace an end-of-life system. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to manufacture, distribute or support extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy systems, with equipment suitable for hospital kidney-stone treatment and the technical expertise to replace an established lithotriptor service. Access to the relevant framework route would be important, because this purchase was made through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition. Suppliers should be able to support NHS hospital procurement expectations, provide reliable specialist equipment, and demonstrate capability in installation, commissioning, servicing and clinical-user support where required by the buyer’s technical specification. The requirement is specialist rather than general medical-equipment supply.
