Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has awarded a 12-month contract to Intuitive Surgical Ltd for the procurement of Da Vinci Robot consumables, with the contract valued at £555,000. This procurement falls under the medical consumables category and utilises the NHS Supply Chain Robotic Medical Equipment and Associated Accessories framework as its route to market. The award was published on 23rd March 2026, signalling the completion of the tender process. Deliveries are expected to be made to the LN5 7JH postal code area in the East of England, United Kingdom, with the contract period spanning from 16th December 2025 to 16th December 2026.

This tender presents business growth opportunities primarily for enterprises specialising in medical consumables and robotic medical equipment. Though the procurement method is selective, allowing call-off from a framework agreement, it primarily suits larger businesses rather than SMEs or VCSEs due to the procurement scale. Companies with established partnerships with NHS frameworks or experience in robotic consumable supplies are well-positioned to compete. Suppliers like Intuitive Surgical Limited, based at the Oxford Science Park, reflect the calibre required to meet such specialised demands.
