Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process titled "WSFT - Surgery - 2 x Quaser eLite", under the award stage as of 29th July 2026. This tender involves the purchase and installation of medical equipment, specifically the Quaser eLite, valued at £91,860.60. It falls under the industry category of medical equipment, with the contract period running from 9th July 2026 to 8th July 2027, and is based in Bury St. Edmunds, UK. The procurement method used was selective, executed via a call-off from a framework agreement, and the initial tender period concluded on 10th June 2026.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies experienced in supplying high-precision medical equipment. While the procurement was already awarded to G.K Wood & Son Ltd T/A Fulbourn Medical, the process underscores the potential for suppliers to engage in lucrative public sector contracts through framework agreements. Businesses similar in scale to the supplier, which operate within or have established partnerships in the UK medical supply chain, would be well-positioned to compete in future opportunities similar to this contract. While this specific contract was deemed unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, the insights gained can aid in tailoring future bids.
