Summary of the contracting process

UHSussex NHS Foundation Trust procured medical ligation clip supplies for Worthing Hospital. The requirement is for Weck Hem-o-lok polymer ligation clips and associated reusable ligation clip appliers, classified as clip, suture and ligature supplies (CPV 33141120). The arrangement includes the supply of the clips and support for the reusable appliers, including free loan, servicing, repair and replacement. Products are purchased through the NHS Supply Chain MIS2/MIS3 framework. This is a goods procurement serving a hospital in Worthing, with the buying organisation based at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester. The selected supplier is Teleflex Medical, a medical device business based in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, which supplies the specified product range.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective route described as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the underlying requirement described as a direct award to Teleflex Medical UK. The tender deadline was 9 August 2026 at 12:00. Teleflex Medical was awarded the contract on 11 August 2026 for £152,165.56 including the stated contract value, in GBP. The procurement’s estimated value range was £126,804.63 to £152,165.56. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 8 June 2030. The award was made on the basis of the specified product supply and a 95% product commitment, which secures the associated applier loan and support arrangements. The contract is not reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates recurring hospital demand for polymer ligation clips paired with dependable support for reusable application equipment. Suppliers seeking to compete when the requirement returns would need a suitable medical device product range, reliable distribution to Worthing Hospital and the capacity to maintain continuity of supply over a multi-year arrangement. The commercial model places particular importance on committing most purchases to the product line, because that commitment supports loaned equipment and ongoing servicing, repair and replacement. Credibility would therefore depend not only on supplying consumable clips, but also on providing responsive lifecycle support for reusable appliers. Access to the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework route would also be important for businesses targeting this buyer and requirement.
