Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is buying renoscopes for its ureterorenoscopy service. These are specialist endoscopes used in urological procedures, so the requirement is for medical equipment rather than clinical staffing, construction or general supplies. The main procurement category is goods, with CPV 33168100 for endoscopes. The buyer is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, and delivery coverage is stated for the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement therefore suits manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers able to provide renoscopes for hospital urology services and manage delivery across the stated coverage.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust awarded the contract to Karl Storz Endoscopy (UK) Limited on 19 August 2026. The awarded value is £25,718.40 including the published currency of GBP. The award is active and covers the period from 17 August 2026 to 7 September 2026. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award outcome records one selected supplier for the renoscope requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist endoscopy equipment supporting ureterorenoscopy, supplied through an established framework call-off route. Businesses considering future work with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust would need a credible range of renoscopes and the operational ability to supply hospital-grade medical devices reliably. The opportunity is better aligned with established manufacturers or specialist distributors than with smaller general medical-supply firms, since the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs. Relevant competitors would benefit from experience supplying NHS healthcare organisations, understanding framework call-off processes and providing dependable fulfilment for urology services. The requirement is focused, so expertise in endoscopy and urological equipment is more relevant than broad healthcare-sector coverage.
