Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured the supply of ENT coblation equipment and associated consumables. This is a goods requirement covering specialist equipment used for ear, nose and throat procedures, together with the medical consumables needed to operate it. The buying organisation is based on Steelhouse Lane in Birmingham, and the requirement is associated with its services there. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The relevant product category is medical consumables (CPV 33140000), alongside the associated ENT coblation equipment. Businesses active in supplying specialist ENT devices, compatible consumables or both would be the closest commercial match to this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 July 2026 following a direct award procedure. The stated reason for using this route was the specialised nature of the ENT coblation equipment and consumables, with urgency also identified as a rationale classification. The contract was awarded to TJ Smith & Nephew for £222,640 excluding VAT (£267,168 gross). The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 23 June 2028, with an extension option allowing it to continue until 23 June 2030. Evaluation was based on the buyer’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive tender. One supplier received the award, covering the single lot, and the award is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for a combined supply of specialist ENT coblation equipment and its associated consumables. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work with Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust would need a credible product offering covering the equipment and the consumables required for continued use, rather than supplying unrelated general medical products. Relevant manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers may be well placed where they can support ENT clinical requirements and maintain dependable supply of compatible consumables. The procurement’s stated suitability for SMEs indicates that smaller specialist businesses can be commercially relevant, provided they can demonstrate the necessary product expertise, supply capability and ability to support an NHS customer over a multi-year arrangement.
