Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a central government public authority based in Cambridge, has completed a procurement process for a tissue processor, classified under miscellaneous medical devices and products. The tender, identified as "Processor", is within the goods procurement category and was initiated under the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54. Sakura Finetek UK Limited, based in Newbury, was awarded the contract on 27th May 2025, with the active contract period running from 18th June 2025 to 17th September 2025. The value of the contract stands at £58,631.64 gross, reflecting below-threshold procurement methods. The goods are to be delivered across various regions of the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This procurement opportunity presents avenues for business growth in the medical devices industry, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises like Sakura Finetek UK Limited, which successfully secured the contract. Enterprises specialising in medical equipment manufacturing, supply, and distribution are well-suited to compete in similar tenders, especially those offering value-driven and innovative solutions, considering the procurement method was below-threshold, indicating potential for smaller-scale contracts. The successful awarding exemplifies a tangible chance for businesses to partner with NHS Trusts across the UK, expanding their footprint in the healthcare sector.
