Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust purchased urodynamics machines for urology and bowel management. The requirement is for medical equipment, specifically machines used to assess urinary and related lower-tract function. The buying organisation is the Trust, based at Colchester District General Hospital in Colchester, and the equipment is for its NHS healthcare operations. The purchase was made through the NHS Supply Chain Framework for Urology & Bowel Management. This is a focused equipment supply requirement rather than a service, construction or installation opportunity. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, authorised UK distributors and specialist medical-equipment suppliers with urodynamics products suitable for NHS clinical use.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through a framework agreement. The award was made to Laborie Medical Technologies UK, which submitted the only recorded bid. The evaluation criterion was price. The active contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and is valued at £35,563.98. The procurement record also shows the associated lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender is marked complete, and the available outcome is therefore a completed award rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This outcome identifies a defined NHS demand for specialist urodynamics equipment within urology and bowel management services. A credible future competitor would need a suitable medical-equipment range, clinical understanding of urodynamic assessment, and the ability to supply equipment that meets NHS operational and technical requirements. Familiarity with the NHS Supply Chain framework route would be important, including the commercial and administrative requirements for framework purchasing. The successful supplier is a large specialist medical-technology business, indicating that product expertise, dependable UK supply and the capacity to support an NHS Trust are relevant competitive strengths. Suppliers should also be able to compete strongly on price, since price was the recorded evaluation basis.
