This is a goods requirement covering disposable medical consumables, specifically the Bulkamid system used for urethral bulking. The buyer is QE Facilities Ltd, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead. The recorded delivery scope is the United Kingdom. The requirement is associated with a healthcare facilities organisation and was procured as a single lot. Suppliers active in specialist medical devices, disposable healthcare products and urological treatment systems would be the most relevant comparators for this procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BOSTON SCIENTIFIC LIMITED. The award date and contract signing date were 22 July 2026. It used a direct award procedure described as below threshold and without competition, under the cited UK legal basis. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027.

This award demonstrates established demand from QE Facilities Ltd for a specialist urethral bulking system supplied under a price agreement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide the specified Bulkamid system or an accepted equivalent, together with dependable supply of disposable medical consumables for healthcare use. Relevant businesses are likely to be established medical-device manufacturers, authorised distributors or specialist healthcare suppliers with the product knowledge, regulatory capability and supply-chain arrangements needed to support clinical procurement. The successful supplier is a large medical technology company, indicating that product ownership or authorised access, reliable fulfilment and the capacity to service a healthcare buyer are important competitive characteristics.
