Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a procurement process for the replacement of an ultrasound scanner for Blythe Theatre IH. The tender, titled "Ultrasound Machine Cap Rep Ref 127," falls under the goods category and is classified under the CPV code for ultrasound scanners. This procurement was conducted using a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, enabled by the NHS Supply Chain Framework. The contract was awarded to FUJIFILM SONOSITE LTD on 22nd January 2026, valued at £30,860. The project is located in the UKH14 region, reflecting a key investment in medical technology, aimed at enhancing the healthcare services provided by the NHS Trust.

This procurement offers limited direct opportunities for new entrants as it was executed using a direct award method, an approach typically suited to incumbent suppliers or those within established frameworks like the NHS Supply Chain. Companies specialising in medical imaging technology with strong positioning within such frameworks would be well-suited to engage in similar opportunities in the future. While this specific opportunity was closed without competition, businesses in the medical technology sector can prepare by establishing relationships within national frameworks to access future tenders and support growth in this vital industry.
