Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is procuring the supply of hip and knee implants for its hospital services. The requirement falls within orthopaedic implant supply (CPV 33183100) and is classified as goods. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site in Dorchester, Dorset, within the South West of England. The named buyer is Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The procurement concerns implants rather than clinical services, surgery, general medical equipment or construction. It will be relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers able to provide hip and knee implant products for NHS hospital use. The requirement is specifically associated with Stryker-branded supply, as the selected supplier is Stryker UK Limited.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement and is marked complete. Stryker UK Limited was awarded the contract on 20 August 2026. The awarded value is £4,681,995. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The original estimated procurement value was £3,121,330. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It was evaluated as a goods requirement for hip and knee implants, with the procurement route being a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender. The award is active and covers the full contract period.

This award shows an NHS hospital’s sustained demand for hip and knee implants through a framework-based purchasing route. A competitor seeking to be credible when this requirement next reaches the market would need a dependable range of orthopaedic implants, established medical-device manufacturing or distribution capability, and the capacity to support hospital procurement over a multi-year period. Suppliers should be able to meet NHS purchasing, product assurance, traceability, stock availability and delivery expectations for hip and knee systems. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist businesses may be relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary product portfolio, regulatory compliance, supply resilience and ability to operate within a public-sector framework or similar structured purchasing arrangement.
