Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, involves the purchase of a Sakura Tissue-Tek Prisma Plus slide stainer, classified under the medical equipment industry category. Based in Norwich, United Kingdom, the process has progressed to the award stage on 25th November 2025, following the tender period which concluded on 24th November 2025.

The awarded contract holds a budget of £147,381.60.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment supply, particularly those familiar with healthcare requirements and technology.
