Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a public authority in the central government category, focused on securing services for the maintenance and repair of rigid scopes and instruments. The contract, which has been awarded and is in the "complete" stage, was procured through a limited method, denoting a competitive process below the threshold. The contract was signed on 1st April 2026, with an active period until 31st March 2027. The project location is Norwich, UK, under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of medical and surgical equipment, and the total contract value is £54,000 gross.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses experienced in servicing medical equipment, particularly those specialising in surgical instruments. Such contracts can help expand companies' portfolios and establish credibility within the NHS supply chain. Although the procurement process was limited, which typically narrows the field of competition, businesses with a strong track record in medical maintenance services such as Bolton Surgical Limited, the awarded supplier, are well-poised to leverage these opportunities for growth and further market penetration in medical services.
