Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance services for Pentax nasopharyngoscopes, specialist medical equipment used for examining the nose and throat. The requirement falls within repair and maintenance services for medical equipment (CPV 50421000), and is a healthcare services contract rather than a supply of new equipment or construction work. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site on Sandford Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, postcode GL53 7AN, serving the Trust’s hospital operations. The named buying organisation is Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The scope is focused on maintaining nasopharyngoscopes, so relevant suppliers are those able to support this type of clinical endoscopy equipment in a hospital environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was evaluated and awarded to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited (NHSSC-SCCL) on 1 April 2026. The awarded value is £41,265. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 12 noon. Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer, and there is one active award to the named supplier. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award concerns services, with no lots identified.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for ongoing maintenance of Pentax nasopharyngoscopes within an NHS hospital trust, procured through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open tender. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in repair and preventive maintenance of specialist medical or endoscopy equipment, with the technical knowledge and operational capacity to support clinical equipment reliably. Experience working with NHS or comparable healthcare organisations would help demonstrate understanding of hospital service requirements, continuity, documentation and equipment availability. The award to a large NHS supply-chain organisation also indicates that framework access, established supply-chain capability and the capacity to serve a substantial healthcare buyer are commercially relevant.
