Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, coordinated by the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, focuses on acquiring "End User Devices", specifically tablet devices for GP practices. This tender falls under the category of office and computing machinery, with the location specified as Lincoln, United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was a competitive quotation (below threshold), a limited procurement method, reflecting the closed nature of the process. The award stage, as of 4th March 2026, is active, following the completion of the tender period which ended on 14th January 2026. The contract commenced on 6th February 2026 and is due to conclude on 22nd July 2026. The total value of the contract is £37,780.

This procurement presents business growth opportunities for companies specialising in supplying office and computing equipment, particularly those able to provide robust solutions to healthcare sectors. Although the contract was awarded to Sync, trading as GBM Digital Technologies Ltd, the competitive quotation method suggests opportunities for similar small and medium-sized enterprises, albeit this particular tender does not cater to SMEs or VCSEs. Businesses with expertise in providing reliable tech solutions for medical facilities could leverage such tenders to increase their footprint in the healthcare industry. While this contract has been awarded, similar opportunities are likely to arise for businesses capable of delivering specialised tech equipment to medical practices.
