Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust bought replacement duodenoscopes for its endoscopy service. The procurement is for medical equipment, with delivery in Nottingham, England. Duodenoscopes are specialised endoscopes used in endoscopic procedures; the stated requirement is replacement equipment rather than a broader endoscopy service. The buyer is the NHS Trust, and the work is associated with its City Hospital campus in Nottingham. The published item information gives Nottingham as the delivery location, but does not describe quantities, technical specifications or associated support requirements. The purchase was made through an existing framework covering flexible endoscopes, related options and services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Olympus Keymed Group Limited. The award was made on 29 September 2026, at £102,221.02. The contract period is recorded as 5 October 2026 only. This was a selective, framework call-off made by direct award under the Flexible Endoscopes and Associated Options and Related Services framework. The procurement’s estimated value range was £85,184.18 to £102,221.02. The data does not set out an evaluation formula or criteria beyond the direct award route, and there are no separate lots or multiple awards recorded. The Trust selected one supplier for the replacement duodenoscopes; the recorded award value matches the upper estimate for the procurement.

This award indicates that Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has recurring demand for replacement duodenoscopes for endoscopy, purchased through its flexible-endoscope framework rather than an open competition for this call-off. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to supply suitable duodenoscopes and qualify for the relevant framework route. Businesses should be positioned to meet the Trust’s technical and clinical requirements for specialist endoscopy equipment, support dependable supply and demonstrate the capacity to serve a large NHS organisation. The award went to a large medical-equipment supplier, so competitors should be prepared to evidence comparable capability and delivery reliability. The recorded procurement does not set out specific product specifications, accreditations or service obligations, so the buyer’s detailed requirements would need to be established for any later opportunity.
