Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management procured bladder scanner ultrasound equipment, classified as ultrasound scanners. This is a goods requirement for healthcare use, centred on the supply of bladder scanning devices rather than installation, construction or a wider clinical service. Delivery is associated with the buyer’s base in Newcastle upon Tyne, with the delivery location recorded in the United Kingdom. The purchasing organisation is Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management, based at Silverfox Way in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement therefore suits manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers whose product range includes bladder scanners or comparable ultrasound-based diagnostic equipment for healthcare providers.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 July 2026 to Verathon Medical (UK) Ltd. The award value was £258,563.25 including the stated currency of GBP. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00. The awarded contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 17 August 2026. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the available outcome identifies the selected supplier and awarded value but does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings. The requirement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist bladder ultrasound scanning equipment within Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management. A credible future competitor would need a proven range of bladder scanners suitable for clinical environments, the technical knowledge to explain product capability and the operational capacity to supply healthcare equipment reliably. Experience of selling into NHS or comparable healthcare organisations would help demonstrate familiarity with clinical users, procurement controls, delivery expectations and equipment assurance. Because the purchase was made through a framework call-off, suppliers would also need access to the relevant framework route or an equivalent established public-sector purchasing arrangement. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that specialist scale and capability can matter more than corporate size.
