Summary of the contracting process

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a GE BKActiv ultrasound scanner for its Trust Capital replacement programme. The purchase covers medical diagnostic imaging equipment, specifically an ultrasound scanner (CPV 33112300), for delivery to Hull Royal Infirmary on Anlaby Road in Hull, Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is for goods rather than construction or a service, and is linked to replacement of existing capital equipment. The named product is the GE BKActiv Ultrasound system, so the opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, authorised medical equipment suppliers and organisations able to provide this specific ultrasound platform. The buying organisation is the NHS Foundation Trust serving Hull, and the delivery location is identified by Hull Royal Infirmary’s HU3 2JZ postcode.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 26 July 2026 at noon. GE Medical Systems Limited was awarded the contract on 27 July 2026 for £129,787.90 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 27 July 2026, giving a one-day recorded period. The award is active and relates to the full ultrasound scanner purchase. The published procurement information identifies the Trust’s capital replacement programme and use of the NHSSC framework as the route for this purchase.

Although this award has already been made, it provides a clear indication of demand from Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for capital replacement of specialist diagnostic imaging equipment. Suppliers best placed for a comparable future requirement would need a credible route to supply GE BKActiv ultrasound equipment, either as the manufacturer or as an authorised and technically capable medical equipment partner. They would also need experience supplying NHS hospital equipment through the relevant framework route, with the operational capacity to deliver to Hull Royal Infirmary. The requirement is not presented as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so competitors should be established medical technology businesses able to support a framework call-off for a high-value ultrasound scanner.
