Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Qubit Fleux" instrument was conducted by the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located in Cambridge, United Kingdom. This tender falls under the medical equipment industry category and is part of the wider procurement strategy of a public authority in central government. The procurement process has reached the contract stage, with the award being made to Life Technologies Ltd on the 20th of November, 2025, and the contract becoming active on the 9th of December, 2025. This contract is scheduled to run until the 8th of March, 2026. The procurement followed a method described as "below threshold - unknown," indicating a flexible approach suitable for smaller scale tenders.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers of medical equipment. Businesses involved in producing or distributing medical supplies can benefit from engaging in similar procurement processes with the NHS, especially those capable of offering competitive pricing and quality goods as seen in the awarded contract to a large-scale supplier such as Life Technologies Ltd. Companies with expertise in managing detailed public sector contracts and those capable of efficiently delivering to the UKH12 region would be well-positioned to compete in future procurements from this buyer and potentially expand their footprint within the NHS supply chain network.
