Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust procured medical consumables and surgical instruments for minimally invasive surgery. The requirement covers five product groups: clips and appliers; energy devices; stapling devices; laparoscopic instruments; and trocars. These are consumable products used in minimally invasive surgical procedures, supplied under a national pricing matrix associated with the framework agreement. The buying organisation is Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust, with delivery to its City Campus in Nottingham. The procurement is categorised as goods, covering medical consumables and surgical instruments. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery products, particularly businesses able to provide several of the listed product groups through a framework call-off arrangement.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 6 August 2026 through a selective call-off from the Minimally Invasive Surgery and Related Consumables framework. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. Johnson And Johnson Medical Ltd was awarded the contract, valued at £1,175,352, for the period from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. The framework call-off covers the five product groups listed in the requirement: clips and appliers, energy devices, stapling devices, laparoscopic instruments and trocars. The framework became effective on 10 August 2026. The procurement was not designated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating a route shaped around suppliers already participating in the relevant framework.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates established demand from Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust for a broad range of minimally invasive surgery consumables. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to clips and appliers, energy devices, stapling devices, laparoscopic instruments and trocars, together with the ability to supply NHS clinical operations consistently. Experience in medical consumables and surgical instruments, dependable distribution to Nottingham, and the operational capacity to support a multi-product framework call-off would be important. The route used was a selective framework call-off, so businesses would also need to understand framework participation, national pricing arrangements and NHS supply requirements. The buyer’s assessment that the opportunity was unsuitable for SMEs or VCSEs points towards an established, well-resourced supplier profile.
