Summary of the contracting process

The West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust recently completed the procurement process for a capital purchase of endoscopes, specifically medical equipment like video laryngoscopes. The procurement, titled "WSFT - Capital Purchase - Endoscopes ENT," falls under the industry category of medical equipment (CPV: 33100000). This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement and has reached the award stage. The contract, valued at £35,294.43, will see the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust located in Bury St. Edmunds, United Kingdom, working with the supplier Karl Storz Endoscopy (UK) Limited. The contract period spans from 7 July 2025 to 6 July 2026.

This tender represents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses specializing in medical supplies, particularly those focused on endoscopic technology. While the procurement process has concluded, similar opportunities may arise in the future for businesses equipped to provide high-quality medical equipment through established framework agreements. SMEs and VCSEs were not deemed suitable for this tender, suggesting that established companies with specialised expertise in medical equipment would be well-suited for future tenders in similar categories. Business growth can be substantially realised by engaging in these niche markets and meeting the particular needs of healthcare organisations like NHS trusts.
