Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for acquiring Bladderscan i10 Systems, a type of ultrasound scanner, through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. This procurement falls under the goods category within the healthcare industry and is located at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St. Edmunds, United Kingdom (postcode: IP33 2QZ). The tender process concluded with the award on 4th March 2026, following the tender period ending on 5th February 2026. The contract commenced on 3rd March 2026 and will continue until 3rd March 2027.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses engaged in medical equipment supply, specifically those proficient in providing sophisticated imaging technologies. Companies that specialise in the manufacture or distribution of medical ultrasound devices would find this an ideal collaboration with a reputable trust such as West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. However, due to the selective nature of this procurement method, it is less suitable for SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) or VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) looking to expand without pre-existing framework agreements.
