Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust bought Sonosite ultrasound scanners, a medical equipment supply requirement for healthcare use. Delivery is associated with Newcastle upon Tyne, at the Trust’s address in Silverfox Way, and the procurement also identifies England as the delivery area. The scope described is limited to Sonosite ultrasound; no broader installation, maintenance or support requirement is stated. The award went to FUJIFILM SONOSITE LTD. This gives suppliers of ultrasound scanning equipment a direct indication of the type of medical technology this NHS Trust purchases and the location connected with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to FUJIFILM SONOSITE LTD. The award date was 9 October 2026. The awarded value was £149,540. The contract period runs from 12 October to 2 November 2026. The purchase was made through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated procurement value was also £149,540. The submission deadline was 9 October 2026. The procurement was for goods, and the award information identifies one supplier. The Trust marked the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a specific requirement at Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for Sonosite ultrasound scanners, supplied by a specialist medical imaging equipment company. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply Sonosite ultrasound equipment and be positioned to fulfil a focused NHS equipment order for delivery in the Newcastle upon Tyne area. The use of a framework call-off shows that access to the relevant framework route was central to this purchase; suppliers would need appropriate framework coverage to compete through the same route. The Trust’s stated unsuitability assessment for SMEs and VCSEs is a relevant indication of the buyer’s approach to this requirement. The procurement concerns equipment supply rather than a wider service package.
