Summary of the contracting process

KCH Interventional Facilities Management LLP is buying an anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine for its ophthalmology department. The purchase is medical equipment intended to replace faulty machinery and maintain patient safety. This is a goods requirement classified as ophthalmology equipment. Delivery is associated with SE5 9NY in London, at the buyer’s address on Coldharbour Lane. The opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and medical equipment suppliers able to provide anterior segment OCT systems for ophthalmology services. It may also suit smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the procurement was identified as suitable for both SMEs and VCSEs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 19 August 2026 to Heidelberg Engineering Limited for £68,990, with a contract running from 19 August 2026 to 18 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 13 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The buyer is KCH Interventional Facilities Management LLP. The award records identify Heidelberg Engineering Limited as the selected supplier. This is an awarded requirement rather than an opportunity for new bids, but its scope, route to market, value and one-year contract period provide useful intelligence for suppliers monitoring future ophthalmology equipment purchases by this buyer.

This procurement demonstrates a specific requirement for anterior segment OCT equipment to support ophthalmology and patient safety. Suppliers preparing for a future requirement with this buyer would need a credible capability to supply, install or otherwise support specialist ophthalmic imaging equipment, and to replace faulty machinery with equipment suitable for clinical use. Relevant businesses include OCT manufacturers, authorised medical technology distributors and specialist healthcare equipment suppliers. The buyer’s use of a framework call-off shows that access to an appropriate framework, alongside the ability to meet its terms and respond to a call-off, may be commercially important. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller specialist suppliers can be considered where they can demonstrate reliable equipment supply and clinical-sector capability.
