Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of the Fluent Pro system from Hologics Limited. This procurement falls under the category of medical equipment, and is specifically designed to support daycase gynaecological procedures at Solihull Hospital. The tender, first initiated on 20th February 2026 and concluded on 20th March 2026, utilised a direct procurement method classified as 'below threshold - without competition'. The process has moved beyond the planning and tender stages and is currently in the contract award phase, with all requisite legal and procedural compliance as per UK legislation 2023/54.

The contract, with a gross value of GBP 27,600, presents key growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment supply, especially those focusing on innovative gynaecological solutions. Although this particular procurement was direct and without competition, similar procurements may encourage involvement from suppliers who offer competitive and advanced medical technologies. Large-scale suppliers like Hologics Limited are well-suited for such contracts, however, businesses of varying scales can benefit by positioning themselves as providers of innovative medical solutions that align with the operational needs of public health organisations such as University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.
