Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured consumable products for Endomag probes used within its Breast Services. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, covering consumables associated with the probes rather than clinical staff, facilities or wider healthcare services. Delivery is for the Trust’s services in Nottingham, at the City Hospital Campus area. The named supplier, Endomagnetics Ltd, is based in Cambridge and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers able to provide Endomag probe consumables for NHS breast-care use. Businesses focused on unrelated medical equipment, general consumables or non-supply services are unlikely to be well matched to this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Endomagnetics Ltd on 7 May 2026. The contract runs from 23 April 2026 to 22 April 2028. Its awarded value is £124,080, with the procurement estimate stated as between £51,700 and £124,080, all in GBP. The Trust used a selective procedure through a call-off from The Countess of Chester Hospital Framework Agreement, reference F/062/LOC/19/IB, by direct award under that framework. The procurement is for goods and was not divided into lots. The recorded tender closing time was 22 April 2026 at 12:00. The award is active, and the contract period matches the stated procurement period.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for Endomag probe consumables supporting breast services, with procurement routed through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition. A credible future supplier would need reliable access to the specified Endomag consumables, product knowledge and the ability to support clinical services with consistent supply throughout the contract. The successful supplier was the specialist manufacturer Endomagnetics Ltd, indicating that direct manufacturer capability or a demonstrable authorised-distribution relationship may be commercially important. Relevant businesses should also understand NHS procurement and framework routes, maintain dependable ordering and fulfilment arrangements, and be able to supply medical equipment consumables to a hospital trust at the required operational scale.
