Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust purchased two ear, nose and throat (ENT) operating microscopes for use at its Leeds site. The equipment falls within the category of operating-theatre devices (CPV 33162100). The requirement is for the supply of specialist surgical microscopes, rather than a general medical equipment package or a service contract. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s Beckett Street address in Leeds. The stated quantity is two microscopes, giving suppliers in this field a clear indication of the type and scope of equipment the Trust buys.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Carl Zeiss Ltd. The award was made on 6 October 2026, with a contract value of £41,019.48. The contract period runs from 11 October 2026 to 10 October 2031. The procurement was conducted as a selective call-off from the NHS Supply Chain operating microscopes framework, rather than as a standalone open competition. The estimated tender value was £34,182.90. The requirement was for two microscopes and was not divided into lots. The award information identifies the successful supplier; the process was based on a framework call-off.

This award demonstrates demand from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for specialist ENT operating microscopes, with the requirement met by Carl Zeiss Ltd through an established NHS Supply Chain framework. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable future requirements from this buyer would need to provide operating microscopes suitable for ENT surgery and be positioned to supply through the relevant framework route. The scale here was a two-unit equipment purchase, so credible competitors should be able to support supply at that scale and meet the Trust’s clinical equipment needs. The award also shows that this category is bought as a goods requirement, not as a broader theatre equipment or clinical services package.
