Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought the manufacture, supply and maintenance of dust probes. The equipment is classified as medical equipment and is intended for use by the Trust. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for the Trust’s operations in Cambridge. The requirement covers both the provision of the probes and ongoing maintenance, rather than a one-off equipment purchase. This is a specialist healthcare equipment requirement for businesses that manufacture dust probes, supply them into hospital environments, or provide technical servicing for this type of monitoring equipment. The named buyer is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a public authority based in Cambridge. The selected supplier, ENVEA UK Ltd, is also based in Cambridge and is recorded as an SME.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. ENVEA UK Ltd was selected for the single lot, with an award covering the dust probes and related supply and maintenance. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 16 July 2027. Its value is £12,565 excluding VAT and £15,078 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, with the procedure recorded as below threshold. The stated basis for using ENVEA was that its closed protocols mean it is the only company able to work on the equipment. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through a single-lot procurement rather than separate lots for manufacture, supply or maintenance.

This requirement is most relevant to a specialist manufacturer or authorised technical maintainer of dust probes used as medical equipment. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can manufacture and supply the specified probes, maintain them throughout their operating life, and work safely in a hospital environment. Technical access to the equipment’s operating protocols is particularly important: the stated reason for selecting ENVEA was that its closed protocols made it the only company able to work on the probes. Suppliers with proven control of comparable proprietary systems, or with documented authorisation to service them, would therefore be better placed than general medical-equipment distributors. The work also indicates demand for a combined equipment and maintenance capability from one supplier.
