Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves QE Facilities Limited, a hospital in Gateshead, England, purchasing two Logiq e10 ultrasound scanners. The procurement falls under the "Ultrasound scanners" industry category, with the procurement method being a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates for this procurement include the tender period ending on 24th February 2026, with the contract period starting and concluding on 25th February 2026. The process is now in the "Award" stage, having been awarded to NHS Supply Chain, as published on 10th March 2026.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for suppliers in the medical equipment sector, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality ultrasound scanners. Large enterprises, such as NHS Supply Chain, which have the capacity to function within the procurement framework agreements, are particularly well-suited to benefit from participating in similar tenders. However, the suitability criteria do not target small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), indicating that larger organisations with established capabilities and resources in healthcare supplies would be more competitive.
