Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is buying Merit Medical’s Savi Scout consumables for breast biopsy procedures. The procurement covers biopsy needles and associated consumable products supplied through NHS Supply Chain’s national pricing matrix agreement. It is a goods requirement supporting breast imaging and interventional clinical services, rather than a construction or general consultancy contract. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s services in the South West of England, including the Cheltenham area. NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited is the contracted supply organisation, providing the purchasing route and fulfilment arrangement for the Trust. The requirement is linked to the NHS Supply Chain framework covering interventional cardiology, interventional radiology, interventional neuroradiology, cardiac rhythm management and electrophysiology.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 August 2026 to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited. The award value is £108,088.20 including VAT, with an estimated minimum value of £90,073.50. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. It was let as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, using the NHS Supply Chain route rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The published requirement describes a 12-month national pricing matrix agreement for the purchase of Merit Medical Savi Scout consumables. Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the buying organisation.

For suppliers assessing future NHS demand, this award shows a defined requirement for branded breast biopsy consumables delivered through an established NHS Supply Chain framework route. A credible competitor would need a dependable supply of Merit Medical Savi Scout products, knowledge of biopsy needle and breast procedure consumables, and the operational capacity to support NHS ordering and delivery requirements. Experience of working with NHS trusts, NHS Supply Chain processes and framework call-offs would be commercially relevant. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the awarded supplier is a large organisation. Businesses with compliant medical consumables distribution capability and reliable stock management would be well placed to monitor comparable requirements from this buyer.
