Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was managed by United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, focusing on the acquisition of the BK5000 Ultrasound Transducers for Grantham and Lincoln Hospital Theatres. This initiative falls under the category of goods within the medical industry, specifically concerning ultrasound scanners, located in Lincoln, United Kingdom. The procurement reached the award stage on 26th November 2025, following a direct procurement method via the NHS Supply Chain Ultrasound Scanners framework. The contract was signed on 24th November 2025 and is active from 25th November until 25th December 2025. The procurement was conducted below the threshold without competition, given its specific nature of replacing damaged equipment.

This tender creates significant opportunities for established businesses involved in manufacturing and supplying medical equipment, particularly those specialising in ultrasound technologies. Although the contract was directly awarded to GE Healthcare Ltd—demonstrating preference for large-scale suppliers with a proven track record—businesses aiming to compete in future tenders should consider establishing robust relationships with NHS trusts and demonstrate capabilities in delivering high-standard medical apparatus swiftly and reliably. The specificity of this procurement suggests that businesses with expertise in medical imaging equipment are well-suited to target similar opportunities.
