Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust with the aim of purchasing a Neuro Microscope. This procurement falls under the medical equipment industry category, focusing on goods. The location of the procurement is Leeds, United Kingdom, and the direct award contract was necessary due to technical requirements specific to reducing bypass cross-clamp time in neurosurgery. The procurement was at the award stage as of 19th January 2026, and the contract period is set to commence on 10th February 2026, concluding on 3rd February 2031. The awarded supplier is Mitaka Europe GmbH, based in Berlin, Germany. The total contract value is £415,000, cementing this contract within a substantial procurement category.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large businesses capable of supplying advanced medical equipment. The direct award method reflects a niche market where specialised expertise and equipment specific to complex neurosurgical procedures are critical. Companies with a focus on innovative medical solutions that address highly technical requirements, such as those capable of minimising bypass cross-clamp time, are particularly well-suited to engage in such procurement opportunities. Additionally, businesses that have pre-established partnerships or capabilities in providing highly specific medical instruments stand to benefit from similar direct procurement processes with public healthcare organisations.
