Summary of the contracting process

Great Ormond Street Hospital purchased an Erbe diathermy machine, a medical device used in surgery to cut tissue or control bleeding using electrical energy. The procurement describes the requirement as a purchase of the machine; it does not set out additional equipment, installation or service requirements. Delivery was to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. The classification supplied is for surgical lasers, although the stated purchase is an Erbe diathermy machine.

The procurement was completed through a selective call-off from the NHS Supply Chain framework for Medical Lasers and Related Accessories and Services. Erbe Medical UK Limited was selected for the contract, with the award dated 21 September 2026. The awarded value was £28,497.64. The recorded contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 22 September 2026. The original tender deadline was 22 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was for goods and was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or lot breakdown are recorded in the process details.

This award shows that Great Ormond Street Hospital buys specialist surgical equipment through a call-off from an NHS Supply Chain framework, rather than through a standalone open competition. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need access to the relevant framework and the ability to supply Erbe diathermy equipment for hospital use. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, demonstrating that a smaller medical-equipment supplier can serve this requirement despite the procurement being marked unsuitable for SMEs. The purchase was a discrete equipment requirement, so credibility would rest on the ability to supply the specified machine through the framework; the process provides no evidence of broader installation, maintenance or service requirements.
