Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust purchased orthopaedic power tools as medical equipment through the NHS Supply Chain TOS3 Framework. The requirement covers the supply of power tools used in orthopaedic healthcare. The purchase was made against validated framework quotations identified by a unique reference number. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust based at Colchester District General Hospital in Colchester, serving East Suffolk and North Essex. The procurement relates to goods rather than services, works or equipment installation. It was conducted under the framework arrangement, so the opportunity was aimed at suppliers already able to provide the relevant equipment through that route. The named supplier, Stryker UK Limited, is a large medical equipment company.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in an active award to Stryker UK Limited. The associated contract is active and was signed on 27 March 2026. Its value is £42,882.71 including the stated currency of GBP. The Trust used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on the NHS Supply Chain framework. The purchase was evaluated on price, with one bid recorded. The procurement was structured as a single lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract remain active. The purchase was made under the TOS3 Framework rather than through an open competition, using validated framework quotations. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the procurement demonstrates demand for specialist orthopaedic power tools within an NHS foundation trust and a preference for buying through the NHS Supply Chain TOS3 Framework. A credible competitor would need to supply clinical-grade orthopaedic power tools and be able to meet the Trust’s equipment requirements through an established framework route. The process shows that validated framework quotations were used and that price was the stated evaluation basis. Suppliers should therefore combine an appropriate product range with competitive framework pricing and the operational capability to support NHS purchasing processes. Experience supplying healthcare organisations and understanding the requirements of orthopaedic clinical environments would strengthen a future offering.
