Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited procured foot and ankle implants for orthopaedic surgery, classified as orthopaedic implants (CPV 33183100). The requirement was a call-off from the NHS Supply Chain Total Orthopaedic Solutions 3 Framework, for use in orthopaedic surgical procedures. The purchasing organisation is based at Sunderland Royal Hospital in Sunderland, and the item delivery area is the North East of England. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or construction contract. The procurement concerned implant products specifically for foot and ankle surgery, so it is relevant to manufacturers, specialist medical-device distributors and suppliers with established orthopaedic implant portfolios and the ability to support NHS hospital requirements.

The procurement has completed and an active award was made to Lavender Medical Ltd. The buyer used a limited procedure: a direct award through the NHS Supply Chain Total Orthopaedic Solutions 3 Framework, without prior publication of a competition notice. The award date was 1 April 2026 and the contract value is £117,507. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based on price. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the procurement was treated as outside the relevant directive’s scope. The tender lot for foot and ankle implants is marked cancelled, while the associated award and contract are recorded as active. An extension was available through the framework contract.

This procurement indicates established NHS demand for specialist foot and ankle implants for orthopaedic surgery, supplied through the Total Orthopaedic Solutions 3 Framework. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need a credible range of orthopaedic implant products, including foot and ankle systems, and the regulatory, quality-assurance and clinical support arrangements expected for medical devices used in surgery. Experience supplying NHS hospitals or working through NHS Supply Chain frameworks would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to meet framework call-off requirements and compete on price. The selected supplier was a large organisation, suggesting that dependable distribution, stock availability, product support and capacity to serve hospital demand are important indicators of credibility for this buyer.
