Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured a surgical automated system to support hip and revision knee arthroplasty procedures within elective orthopaedics. The requirement is for medical equipment supplied through a value-based procurement arrangement, with the system’s cost offset by value vouchers linked to the supplier’s commercial model. The buying organisation is based in Nottingham. The awarded equipment is classified as medical equipment and is intended for use in the Trust’s orthopaedic surgical services. This opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist providers of automated surgical systems for hip replacement and revision knee procedures, particularly those able to structure supply around an outcome or value-based commercial arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award to Johnson & Johnson Medical Limited. The award date was 29 June 2026, with a standstill period ending on 10 July 2026 and a scheduled contract signature date of 11 July 2026. The contract period is 13 July 2026 to 13 July 2028. The awarded value is £190,259 excluding VAT, or £228,310.80 including VAT. There was one completed lot. The Trust used a direct award because the full system cost is offset through value vouchers and the resulting commercial benefit is specific to the selected supplier’s model, which it considers unsuitable for competitive tendering. The award remains recorded as pending.

This award demonstrates demand for an automated surgical system supporting elective hip and revision knee arthroplasty within an NHS orthopaedic setting. A credible competing supplier would need equipment and implementation capability suited to these procedures, together with the clinical, technical and service capacity to support hospital use over a two-year contract period. The procurement also shows that this buyer may consider a value-based commercial structure in which the system cost is offset through supplier-linked vouchers rather than paid as direct expenditure. Suppliers seeking comparable work should therefore be able to evidence a distinctive commercial model, a clear value proposition for the Trust and the ability to supply specialist medical equipment for elective orthopaedics.

Notice Description

The requirement is for the supply of Surgical Automated System to support Hip and Revision Knee Arthroplasty procedures within Elective Orthopaedics. The system will be provided through an agreed value-based procurement arrangement, whereby the full cost of PS190,259 is offset and fully covered through the use of value vouchers, resulting in no direct financial expenditure for the Trust.

Procurement Information
