Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a pricing agreement for video laryngoscopes, classified as miscellaneous medical devices and products (CPV 33190000). The requirement is for goods rather than services or works, supporting the Trust’s clinical equipment needs. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s Coley Lane site in Norwich, Norfolk, and the wider delivery area is England. The selected supplier is Ambu Limited, a medical-device company based in Huntingdon. The arrangement concerns video laryngoscope products and their supply under the Trust’s purchasing requirements. It is a hospital procurement, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist suppliers of video laryngoscopes or closely related clinical equipment.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. Ambu Limited was awarded the contract on 6 August 2026 for £615,092 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2029. The award is active and covers the full reported procurement value; no separate lots or additional awardees are identified. The outcome shows that the Trust used an established framework route rather than a standalone open tender. The procurement category is goods, and the published award identifies Ambu Limited as the successful supplier.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear commercial benchmark for suppliers targeting Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement demonstrates demand for video laryngoscopes at a substantial hospital-supply scale, purchased through a framework call-off rather than a standalone tender. A credible future competitor would therefore need a dependable range of video laryngoscope products, the operational capacity to support hospital-level supply, and access to an appropriate public-sector framework route. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that specialist medical-device businesses can compete for this type of requirement. Manufacturers and authorised distributors with relevant NHS supply experience are the closest fit.
