Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought one Panther instrument system for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, intended to support HPV testing by the Trust. Delivery is for the East of England. The requirement is for a single instrument system rather than a broader equipment package, and the purchasing organisation is the NHS hospital trust in Norwich.

The procurement is complete and Hologic Ltd was selected for the contract. The award was made on 28 September 2026, with a contract period from 29 September to 31 December 2026. The awarded value is £169,950. The Trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots are identified; the requirement was for one system. The stated tender submission deadline was 20 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was for goods, with medical equipment as the stated classification.

The award demonstrates demand from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for a Panther system specifically for HPV testing, purchased through a framework call-off. Hologic Ltd, a large supplier, secured the contract. For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to supply the specified Panther instrument system and demonstrate that it can meet the Trust’s HPV testing equipment need. Suppliers already positioned to provide this system through an applicable framework would be well placed to compete using the same purchasing route. The notice identifies the requirement as suitable for SMEs, so smaller equipment suppliers may also be relevant where they can provide the required system and participate through the framework.
