Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust bought handheld CUBEScan BioCon-900S bladder scanners as part of a replacement programme. The equipment uses touchscreen controls, pre-scan bladder scouting and automatic 3D scanning, with modes for male, female, post-hysterectomy and child patients. It includes password protection for patient details, a charger, carry case, operator manual and a two-year warranty. The scanners are diagnostic medical devices for use in the United Kingdom; a delivery postcode in Essex is also recorded. The purchase was made through the NHS Supply Chain framework for bladder scanners.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to De Smit Medical Systems Limited. The award date was 10 September 2026, and the recorded contract period runs from 10 September to 9 December 2026. The awarded value was £103,229.40. This was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than a standalone open competition. The requirement is presented as a single replacement-programme purchase, with no separate lots described. The procurement record marks the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

This purchase shows demand from the Trust for handheld bladder-scanning equipment with automatic 3D scanning, patient-type modes, secure patient-detail access and a practical supply package that includes a charger, carry case, manual and warranty. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement returns would need to provide suitable clinical diagnostic devices and demonstrate that their equipment meets these functional and patient-use requirements. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller supplier has delivered this type of requirement, while the framework call-off route shows the importance of being positioned to supply through the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework. The requirement is for medical equipment, rather than a broader clinical service.
