Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured a leased high-specification antenatal ultrasound scanner for use by its antenatal department. The requirement is for medical equipment, specifically GE equipment, supplied through a lease arrangement rather than a straightforward purchase. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s City Hospital Campus in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, at NG5 1PB. The procurement is categorised as goods and medical equipment. The purpose is to provide the department with an advanced antenatal ultrasound scanning capability under a new lease contract. This opportunity is therefore relevant to medical equipment manufacturers, authorised GE equipment suppliers, healthcare technology providers and businesses able to arrange or support equipment leasing for NHS clinical departments.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 15 June 2025 at 12:00. The award was made on 30 April 2025 to Shawbrook Bank Limited, with the decision based on the most competitive price. The awarded value is £105,783.36 including the stated procurement value range of £88,152.80 to £105,783.36, all in GBP. The contract period runs from 16 June 2025 to 15 June 2035. The selected supplier is responsible for the lease arrangement for the GE antenatal ultrasound scanner. The tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates sustained NHS demand for high-specification antenatal ultrasound equipment delivered through leasing, rather than only capital purchase. Competitors seeking similar work with Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust would need to provide, supply or finance GE clinical imaging equipment suitable for antenatal use, and structure a lease that supports a long-term hospital requirement. Price competitiveness was decisive in this procurement, so credible suppliers would need strong equipment pricing and commercially effective leasing arrangements. The requirement is best suited to established medical equipment manufacturers, authorised technology providers, healthcare leasing companies and finance partners able to work together on equipment supply and funding. The ten-year commitment indicates that service continuity, asset financing and dependable support arrangements would be commercially important when this type of requirement returns.
