Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust bought neurophysiology electroencephalography (EEG) equipment as a capital purchase. EEG equipment records and supports the clinical assessment of electrical activity in the brain, so the requirement is relevant to medical equipment manufacturers, specialist neurodiagnostic suppliers and healthcare technology businesses. The procurement is categorised as medical equipment (CPV 33100000) and falls within the goods category. Delivery was required at the Trust’s site on Greetwell Road, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, postcode LN2 5QY. The named buyer is United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, serving its neurophysiology service. The requirement concerns equipment supply rather than a general clinical service, and was fulfilled by Nihon Kohden UK Limited.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust made a direct award through the NHS Supply Chain Framework for Patient Monitoring Equipment, Bedside Equipment Alarm Monitoring Systems, Related Products and Services, described as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 December 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to Nihon Kohden UK Limited on 18 February 2026 for £124,054.10 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period ran from 1 March 2026 to 31 March 2026. The award is recorded as active. The procurement was a selective procedure for goods, with the requirement delivered in Lincoln.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the process provides a clear example of demand from United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for specialist neurophysiology EEG equipment purchased as capital equipment. A credible competitor would need a strong portfolio of EEG systems suitable for hospital neurophysiology use, dependable product supply and the ability to engage with NHS procurement routes. Access to, or an established position within, the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework would be important because this purchase used a direct framework call-off rather than an open competition. Businesses should also be able to present clear technical product information, support clinical purchasing decisions and demonstrate reliable delivery of medical equipment to the Trust’s Lincoln site. Nihon Kohden UK Limited was the selected supplier.
