Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured one electroencephalography (EEG) machine for delivery to its facilities on Beckett Street in Leeds. The requirement is for medical equipment used to record and assess electrical activity in the brain. This is a goods procurement rather than a service, construction or wider equipment-support contract. The named buyer is the NHS Trust, and the selected supplier is Optima Medical Limited, a medical equipment company based in Guildford, Surrey. The purchase was made through the NHS Supply Chain Patient Monitoring Equipment, Bedside Equipment Alarm Monitoring Systems, Related Products and Services framework, so the requirement is relevant to suppliers of clinical monitoring and diagnostic equipment with access to that purchasing route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 September 2026 to Optima Medical Limited. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated value was £39,705, while the awarded value was £47,646. The tender submission deadline was 11 September 2026 at noon. The awarded contract runs from 14 October 2026 to 14 October 2031, giving a five-year contract period. The award is active, and the contract covers the single EEG machine requirement. The published outcome identifies Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as the buyer and Optima Medical Limited as the supplier. The procurement was classified under CPV 33121100, covering electro-encephalographs.

For suppliers assessing future NHS demand, this procurement shows a defined requirement for a single clinical EEG machine from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, with the purchase routed through an NHS Supply Chain framework. A credible competitor would therefore need to supply electroencephalography equipment suitable for hospital use and be able to transact through the relevant framework route or an equivalent NHS purchasing arrangement. The awarded supplier is an SME, but the procurement records the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs, indicating that future competitors should assess framework access, public-sector contracting capability and the scale of NHS compliance expected for this buyer. Medical equipment distributors and manufacturers focused on EEG and related patient-monitoring products are the closest commercial fit.
