Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust bought one Fujifilm Sonosite ultrasound scanner for Petworth Ward at St Richard’s Hospital. This is a capital purchase of medical imaging equipment, classified as ultrasound scanners (CPV 33112300), rather than a broader clinical services contract. Delivery is to the South East of England, at the hospital location associated with Petworth Ward. The named supplier is FUJIFILM SONOSITE LTD, whose specialist product is the required equipment. The procurement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-equipment suppliers able to provide Fujifilm Sonosite ultrasound systems for NHS hospital use. The requirement is for a single machine and is described as a one-off purchase, with the purchase made through an existing NHS framework for ultrasound scanners, associated options and related services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from the NHSSC Framework Ultrasound Scanners and Associated Options and Related Services. The contract was awarded to FUJIFILM SONOSITE LTD on 4 August 2026 for £49,692 including the stated currency of GBP. The published estimated range was £41,410 to £49,692. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 September 2026. The tender’s submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was evaluated as a goods purchase and covered a single ultrasound scanner for the named hospital ward. University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust is the buying organisation. The procurement was not presented as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined NHS demand for specialist portable or ward-based ultrasound equipment from an established manufacturer or authorised channel partner. A credible future competitor would need access to Fujifilm Sonosite systems, the ability to supply the specified scanner through the relevant NHS framework route, and the operational capacity to fulfil a single-item hospital capital order within a short delivery and contract window. Relevant businesses are likely to be medical-imaging manufacturers, NHS framework suppliers and specialist healthcare-equipment distributors rather than general technology or office-equipment companies. Familiarity with NHS purchasing requirements, hospital delivery arrangements, product support and associated scanner options would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer’s equipment requirement is next reviewed.
