Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust procured the supply of tonometer probes for its healthcare services. Tonometer probes are medical consumables used with tonometers to measure pressure in the eye, so the requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical-supply businesses serving NHS or clinical customers. The buying organisation is based in Derby, England, and the procurement identifies the Trust’s Derby delivery location. The main category is goods, classified under CPV 33140000 for medical consumables. The requirement concerns product provision rather than installation, construction or a broader clinical service, making reliable supply, product suitability and fulfilment for hospital use central to the opportunity.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded on 22 July 2026 to Mainline Instruments Ltd for £60,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 29 May 2026 at 6pm. The award covers the provision of tonometer probes to University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was a single goods requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement, and the published outcome records one active award to one supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for tonometer probes and provides a useful market reference for medical-consumables manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist healthcare suppliers. Businesses competing when the requirement returns would need dependable access to suitable tonometer probes, robust stock and replenishment arrangements, and the operational capacity to supply a hospital Trust consistently. Experience supplying NHS or other clinical organisations would help demonstrate understanding of healthcare purchasing, product traceability, quality control and delivery expectations. The procurement’s suitability for SMEs indicates that specialist smaller suppliers can be commercially relevant where they can match the product requirement, fulfil orders reliably and manage public-sector procurement through an open competition.
