Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured capital equipment for disinfecting medical scopes, including a warranty device. This is a goods requirement within the medical equipment category, intended for use at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The equipment supports the cleaning and disinfection of endoscopic scopes, so the relevant supply market includes manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers able to provide suitable disinfection systems and associated warranty support. The Trust is the buying organisation and the requirement concerns the supply of equipment rather than installation works, consultancy or routine cleaning services. The procurement therefore suits businesses operating in endoscopy reprocessing, medical device disinfection and related healthcare equipment supply.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 2 June 2026 to WASSENBURG MEDICAL LTD. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract value awarded is £237,110.09, compared with an estimated procurement value of £197,591.74. The contract runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 2 June 2026 at 12:00. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open standalone competition. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award confirms that West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust buys specialist scope-disinfection equipment through a framework call-off, with a requirement large enough to support a dedicated medical equipment supplier. A credible future competitor would need established expertise in endoscopy reprocessing and medical device disinfection, products suitable for NHS clinical use, and the ability to supply the equipment together with dependable warranty provision. Framework access and experience responding to call-off requirements would be important, as would the operational capacity to support a hospital customer in Bury St Edmunds. Businesses in this specialist healthcare equipment market can use the award as evidence of the Trust’s purchasing pattern and supplier expectations.
