Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "LPP/2024/001 Contrast Media and Associated Injectors/Consumables" framework, led by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, concluded with the contract awards. Taking place in London (UKI44), this process focused on the procurement of goods, classified under the CPV code 33696800 for X-ray contrast media. The framework aimed to unify current procurement collaborations within the UK's NHS system into a national framework, enhancing both competition and procurement efficiency. The open procurement method concluded with the active status of contracts on 1 July 2025, marked by the signed contracts dated back to 28 January 2025. This procurement had been previously announced and amended to extend deadlines as required, culminating in the framework being active by January 2025.

This procurement process represents a significant business opportunity, especially for companies in the medical supplies industry, as it offers a centralized framework potentially increasing market presence within the NHS and broader health sectors in the UK. It has facilitated substantial contracts with suppliers such as Bracco UK Limited, Guerbet Laboratories Limited, GE Healthcare Pharmaceutical Diagnostics, Bayer Public Limited Company, Uniphar Medtech LIMITED, and LEIB MEDICAL LTD. Businesses involved in the production or distribution of medical consumables, particularly those providing cost-effective and quality-driven X-ray media solutions, would find themselves well-suited to engage in this sector through future framework agreements. The open procedure and the establishment of a national framework offer growth and expansion opportunities, encouraging SMEs and large-scale enterprises alike to explore partnerships within the NHS supply chain.
