Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

King’s College Trust procured replacement hysteroscopy equipment for women’s health: a fluid management system and Omni scopes. The equipment is intended for use at Denmark Hill and Orpington Hospital, replacing ageing hysteroscopy stack and fluid management equipment. The current equipment is over ten years old; two units have reached end of life and are no longer supported by the manufacturer. Replacement is intended to address the risk of technical failure, reduced reliability and increasing maintenance needs that could affect patient care and service delivery. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, rather than a works or general services contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hologic Ltd. The award date was 23 September 2026, and the contract runs from 24 September 2026 to 23 September 2027. The awarded value is £85,990. The Trust used a selective procurement route as a call-off from a framework agreement. The published tender deadline was 23 September 2026 at 12 noon. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available award information identifies the selected supplier and contract value; it does not set out evaluation criteria or a breakdown of the equipment into separate lots.

This award demonstrates demand from King’s College Trust for specialist hysteroscopy equipment serving women’s health, including fluid management systems and Omni scopes. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply equipment suitable for clinical use at the Trust’s hospitals and capable of replacing ageing hysteroscopy stacks and fluid management systems. The stated drivers are reliable service delivery, avoiding technical failure, and reducing dependence on equipment that is unsupported by its manufacturer. The buyer used a framework call-off and assessed the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs, so suppliers should be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route and to meet the scale of supply expected by a large NHS trust. Hologic Ltd, a large supplier, was selected for this contract.
