Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by Dorset County Hospital NHS Trust involves the purchase of two Vivid E95 Echocardiographs, aligning with the CPV classification code 33112340 for echocardiographs. The procurement falls under the category of goods and progresses via a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £197,539, was awarded on 5th September 2025, with GE Healthcare Limited as the supplier. Located in Dorchester, Dorset, the contract spans from 5th September 2025 to 4th September 2026, and pertains to the healthcare sector.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses associated with the healthcare equipment sector, particularly those involved in advanced medical technologies. However, given the selective procurement method utilised, larger businesses with established connections to framework agreements and experience in providing medical equipment may have a competitive advantage. SMEs and voluntary sector organisations may find it challenging to compete in this specific tender, yet similar opportunities in scaling healthcare innovations within NHS Trust frameworks could present useful growth avenues for these entities.
