Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured endoscope maintenance services for West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The requirement covers the maintenance of flexible endoscopes, classified under CPV 33168100. This is a clinical equipment servicing requirement rather than the supply of new endoscopes or general hospital maintenance. The work is categorised as a service and is intended to support the Trust’s endoscopy equipment at its hospital site. The buyer is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. The procurement involved NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited as the selected supplier, indicating that delivery is linked to an NHS purchasing arrangement and the Trust’s operational requirements for maintaining flexible endoscopy equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 August 2026 to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited. The awarded value is £17,460. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. It was conducted using a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for endoscope maintenance. The award is active and covers the single stated requirement for flexible endoscopes. The published outcome therefore confirms the selected supplier, the contract value and the one-year delivery period.

This procurement provides a clear example of demand from West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust for specialist maintenance of flexible endoscopes. Suppliers considering future requirements from this buyer would need demonstrable capability in servicing and maintaining endoscopy equipment, with the operational systems to support a hospital environment. Access to the relevant framework route would be important, since the requirement was awarded through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open procedure. The successful supplier was a large NHS procurement organisation, so competitors would need to show dependable service delivery, suitable capacity and familiarity with NHS purchasing arrangements. Firms that combine flexible endoscope maintenance expertise with framework participation and reliable support for clinical equipment would be best placed when a comparable requirement returns.
