Summary of the contracting process

Simply Serve Ltd, based at Yeovil District Hospital, bought medical consumables for minimally invasive surgery, specifically energy devices and stapling products. The requirement covers equipment and associated consumables used by surgical teams, and is transacted through the NHS Supply Chain Framework for Sterile Intervention Equipment and Associated Consumables. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement is for goods rather than services or works. It relates to maintaining and supporting minimally invasive surgical procedures across the Trust, including continuity with equipment and consumables already in clinical use.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award through the NHS Supply Chain framework. The award was made to JOHNSON & JOHNSON MEDICAL LIMITED on 30 June 2026, following trialling and evaluation of four suppliers. The award and active contract value is £400,000 excluding VAT and £480,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 July 2030. Simply Serve Ltd selected the supplier as best clinically, competitively priced and able to maintain continuity with existing equipment and consumables. The supplier may also provide additional goods if required by the surgical team.

This requirement is relevant to established medical-device and surgical-consumables suppliers with demonstrable clinical performance in minimally invasive surgery, particularly energy devices and stapling systems. The award rationale shows that clinical suitability was tested through supplier trials and evaluation, alongside price competitiveness and compatibility with equipment and consumables already used across the Trust. A credible competitor would therefore need products that integrate with existing surgical practice, evidence that clinicians can use them safely and effectively, and the operational capacity to supply consumables consistently across England. Experience of NHS Supply Chain framework routes and the ability to support additional requirements from surgical teams would also strengthen a future proposition.
