Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured the Capital – Image 1 Stack (Main Theatres) requirement for its Leicester Royal Infirmary site in Leicester. The procurement concerns medical equipment and associated services for the Trust’s main theatres, under the broad category of medical equipment (CPV 33100000). The published description identifies the requirement as an Image 1 Stack, with “Capital” indicating a capital purchase. The buying organisation is the NHS Trust serving University Hospitals of Leicester. Delivery is associated with Leicester Royal Infirmary, Infirmary Square, Leicester, LE1 5WW. This is therefore relevant to suppliers of theatre-based medical equipment and services, particularly businesses able to support NHS hospital requirements in Leicester.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Karl Storz Endoscopy (UK) Limited on 19 August 2026. Its value is £73,194.08. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 20 August 2031. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is recorded as complete, and the award is active. The requirement was classified as services, although the subject is a capital medical-equipment purchase. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award records identify one successful supplier and one contract value.

This award shows that University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust buys theatre-based medical equipment through a framework call-off, with the requirement delivered at Leicester Royal Infirmary. A supplier considering future requirements for the Trust would need a credible framework route, or the ability to join an appropriate framework before a similar purchase is made. It would also need to supply and support equipment for main-theatre use, understand NHS operational requirements, and provide the service capability associated with a capital medical-equipment installation. The selected supplier is a large specialist business in endoscopy, indicating that technical specialism, established delivery capacity and the ability to support a hospital environment are important competitive characteristics for this type of requirement.
