Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust has completed the procurement of endoscopy equipment to establish a new Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) and Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) service, which is scheduled to open in August 2026. The contract, awarded to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited, involves gastroscopes, bronchoscopes, ultrasound processors, and associated components. The procurement, which concluded on 11 February 2026, utilised a call-off from the NHS Supply Chain Framework for Flexible Endoscopes through a direct award procedure. This selective procurement process ensures compatibility with existing platforms, reducing operational risks and supporting essential processes such as training and decontamination. The contract, valued at £908,962.96, covers the East of England, specifically Lincoln, and spans from February to March 2026, aligning with the establishment timeline of the new service.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for suppliers specialised in medical equipment and healthcare services, particularly those with experience in integrating with NHS trusts' existing systems. Although the procurement method was selective, businesses within the endoscopy equipment supply chain should consider aligning their offerings to meet similar future requirements via NHS frameworks. Companies focusing on healthcare technology development and standardisation with NHS platforms will find potential in upcoming projects requiring high compatibility for new healthcare service infrastructure. By demonstrating expertise in delivering integrated solutions, these businesses can position themselves as credible partners for similar procurement initiatives.
