Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a pricing agreement for the supply of consumables used in knee surgery. This is a goods requirement covering medical consumables, classified under CPV 33140000. The buyer is the Trust in Norwich, with delivery associated with its Colney Lane site and the wider England location stated for the requirement. The arrangement is intended to support knee surgery activity by providing the consumable products needed for procedures. It is a specialist healthcare supply opportunity rather than a clinical service, construction project or general hospital supplies contract. Businesses operating in orthopaedic, surgical or NHS medical consumables markets are the most directly relevant potential competitors for this type of requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 29 May 2026 to NHS SUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION LIMITED (NHSSC - SCCL), for £186,270 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 April 2030. The original tender submission deadline was 22 May 2026 at 12:00. The award is active, while the overall tender is complete. The requirement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published evaluation basis is reflected through the framework call-off route rather than a separately stated competition criterion.

For a supplier assessing future opportunities with this NHS Trust, the award demonstrates sustained demand for knee surgery consumables over a multi-year contract period. A credible competitor would need a dependable range of surgical consumables for orthopaedic procedures, robust product quality and traceability, and the operational capacity to fulfil hospital requirements consistently. Experience supplying NHS organisations or comparable healthcare providers would help demonstrate understanding of clinical procurement, ordering, delivery and compliance expectations. The procurement route also matters: suppliers would need access to, or participation in, an appropriate framework capable of supporting NHS call-offs. The selected supplier is a large NHS supply-chain organisation, indicating that scale, supply resilience and established public-sector distribution arrangements are important competitive characteristics for this requirement.
