Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured specialist intraocular lenses for patients undergoing complex cataract surgery. The requirement covers the supply of sulcus intraocular lenses, classified as intraocular lenses (CPV 33731110), rather than clinical treatment or surgical services. The goods are for delivery to the Trust in Lincoln, serving activity in the East of England. This is a medical consumables opportunity for manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist ophthalmic supply businesses able to provide lenses suitable for complex cataract procedures. The procurement category is goods, and the buying organisation is an NHS acute hospital trust. The requirement is focused on a specific ophthalmic product used where standard cataract surgery requires a more specialised lens solution.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 13 July 2026 following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 2 November 2027. The estimated tender value and awarded value are both £29,167, including the stated currency of GBP. United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust awarded the contract to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited (NHSSC-SCCL). The award is active. The published process records the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or lot structure, so the key commercial route was access to the relevant framework and selection through its call-off process.

This award indicates established NHS demand for specialist ophthalmic consumables used in complex cataract surgery, with purchasing routed through NHS Supply Chain rather than directly to a small specialist supplier. Businesses seeking to compete when the requirement next returns would need a dependable supply of sulcus intraocular lenses, product knowledge relevant to complex cataract procedures and the operational capacity to support hospital demand. Credibility would also depend on being positioned within, or able to access, the relevant framework route and meeting its supplier requirements. The incumbent route suggests that NHS procurement experience, robust distribution arrangements and the ability to provide consistent, clinically appropriate products at scale will matter more than a general medical-supplies capability alone.
