Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust purchased two DRX Evolution Plus dual-bucky X-ray systems, each with dual 35 × 43 detectors. This is medical imaging equipment, bought with associated options and related services through the NHS Supply Chain framework for static X-ray equipment. Delivery is associated with NE23 6NZ in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for a specific imaging system rather than a general supply of medical equipment, so it is most relevant to suppliers and framework providers able to source or supply this equipment and support its associated options and services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited. The award date was 21 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 21 to 30 September 2026. The awarded value is £156,987.90. The purchase was made as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original tender deadline was 1 July 2026. The procurement was for goods and was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available evaluation information does not set out award criteria, so the stated outcome is the selection of the framework supplier for the specified equipment purchase.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future demand, this award shows Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust purchasing a defined configuration of DRX Evolution Plus static X-ray equipment through the NHS Supply Chain framework, rather than running a standalone open competition. A credible competitor would need access to the specified dual-bucky system and paired 35 × 43 detectors, and the ability to supply the associated options and related services through the relevant framework route. The purchase indicates a substantial, specialist imaging-equipment requirement, better suited to established medical imaging suppliers or framework participants with the capacity to deliver a complete system. The recorded SME and VCSE suitability flags indicate that the procurement was not considered suitable for those supplier categories.
