Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured replacement paediatric colonoscopes for its endoscopy service. This is a medical equipment purchase, with delivery to Nottingham, including the City Hospital area. The requirement is specifically for paediatric colonoscopes rather than general endoscopy services or a broad range of hospital equipment. Suppliers with a portfolio of endoscopy equipment suited to paediatric procedures would be relevant to this type of requirement. The procurement was described as a direct award through a framework covering flexible endoscopes, associated options and related services.

The procurement is complete and Olympus Keymed Group Limited was selected. The award was made on 29 September 2026, for £106,138.73. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 5 October 2026. The estimated procurement value was between £88,448.94 and £106,138.73. The Trust used a call-off from the Flexible Endoscopes and Associated Options and Related Services framework. This was a selective procurement, rather than an open competition. The tender record identifies the purchase as goods and states that it was unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded tender submission deadline was 4 October 2026 at 12:00.

The award demonstrates demand at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust for replacement paediatric colonoscopes for endoscopy, procured through a specialist flexible-endoscope framework. A credible competitor would need to supply equipment suitable for paediatric colonoscopy and be positioned to meet the Trust’s endoscopy equipment requirement. The selected supplier was a large company, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that scale and the ability to supply through the relevant framework route are important considerations. Businesses that can provide the required equipment within this specialist framework context are best placed to compete if this specific requirement returns to market. The award concerns equipment supply, not a wider endoscopy service contract.
