UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a Vivascope VS3000 medical imaging system, together with maintenance and callout cover for the equipment and its accessories. The requirement combines a medical equipment purchase with specialist repair and maintenance services. The equipment purchase relates to one VS3000; the service award covers ongoing support for the VS3000 and accessories. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust based in Norwich. The maintenance service is associated with Germany as its delivery location. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering the combined requirement.

The procurement is complete and both awards are active. The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. Vivascope GmbH was selected for both parts: the VS3000 purchase was signed on 14 November 2025, with a contract period from 17 November to 31 December 2025 and a value of £79,396 gross (£66,163.67 excluding VAT); maintenance and callout cover was signed on 14 September 2026, with a contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032 and a value of €29,124.51 gross (€24,478.38 excluding VAT). The purchase award concerns goods and the support award concerns services. The available procurement details do not set out eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria.

For suppliers competing for a future requirement from this Trust, the award demonstrates demand for both a Vivascope VS3000 system and specialist support for that equipment and its accessories. A credible competitor would need to supply the system and provide dependable maintenance and callout capability over a multi-year service period. Relevant experience in medical and precision equipment support, familiarity with the VS3000 and associated accessories, and the capacity to respond to callouts would align with the requirement actually awarded. The Trust selected the equipment manufacturer, Vivascope GmbH, for both the purchase and the maintenance service, indicating that equipment-specific expertise was relevant to delivering the combined requirement. The process used a limited competition below the applicable threshold; the source does not describe the eligibility or evaluation basis.
