Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust involved the supply of Zebra barcode scanners and printers, classified under the office machinery, equipment, and supplies category. Located in Worthing, United Kingdom, the procurement process is now in the award stage, with the contract having been awarded on 27 February 2025. The initial call for competitive quotations commenced with a tender deadline on 6 January 2025. The procurement method was limited, specifically through competitive quotation below the threshold. This contract developed into a significant opportunity valued at £360,704, with a contract duration extending from 28 February 2025 to 1 January 2030.
