UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured one ultrasound machine for use within its healthcare services. The requirement is categorised as medical equipment, covering the supply of a single diagnostic ultrasound system rather than a wider equipment programme. The buying organisation is based at Hills Road, Cambridge, and the equipment is associated with delivery in the Cambridge area. This is a goods procurement for a hospital trust, so it is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-equipment suppliers serving NHS or comparable healthcare customers. The stated requirement is narrow and product-specific: businesses whose offer is limited to general medical consumables, unrelated diagnostic equipment or clinical services would not be well matched to this procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure. It was divided into one lot, which is also complete. NHS England was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 November 2026. Its value is £26,384 excluding VAT and £31,660.84 including VAT. The award covers the single ultrasound machine. The available outcome data identifies the successful supplier and contract value, but does not set out a separate award date or detailed scoring model. This was therefore a small, single-item public-sector purchase rather than a multi-lot framework or long-term managed service arrangement.

For a supplier reviewing this buyer’s purchasing pattern, the procurement demonstrates demand for a discrete ultrasound-machine purchase within a hospital setting, at a modest equipment scale and through a below-threshold route. Competitors would need a credible supply offer for diagnostic ultrasound equipment, with the product knowledge, technical support and delivery capability expected for hospital use. Relevant businesses are likely to include ultrasound manufacturers, specialist imaging-equipment distributors and suppliers with established NHS delivery processes. Credibility would also depend on being able to provide a compliant machine, coordinate delivery and support installation or operational handover where required. Firms focused solely on consultancy, general facilities management or non-diagnostic medical supplies would be poorly aligned with this specific requirement.
