UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured 13 Flexible Scope Model 11272VH units for its urology department. The scopes were described as broken beyond economical repair, so the requirement was for replacement endoscopy equipment rather than a service or works contract. The procurement falls within endoscopy and endosurgery devices (CPV 33168000). Delivery is for the Trust in Cambridge, within the NHS hospital setting. NHS England was the selected supplier, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled through an NHS organisation rather than a conventional commercial medical-equipment supplier. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to businesses supplying flexible urology scopes, endoscopy equipment or related replacement devices, particularly those able to meet NHS clinical and equipment requirements.

This was a below-threshold procurement conducted by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The tender is complete, with one completed lot, and the award is active. NHS England was awarded the requirement, and the contract was signed on 5 August 2026. The contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 November 2026. Its value is £71,603.20 excluding VAT and £85,923.84 including VAT. The purchase covers 13 units, giving an average requirement of approximately five units per month during the contract period, although the published procurement does not state a unit price. The process was recorded as a tender, with the procurement method described as below threshold. The published outcome identifies the product category and selected supplier but does not set out award criteria or a comparative evaluation basis.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for replacing flexible urology scopes that are beyond economical repair. A credible competitor would need to supply Flexible Scope Model 11272VH equipment, or demonstrate an equivalent solution that meets the relevant clinical and technical specification for urology endoscopy. Relevant strengths include dependable access to endoscopy and endosurgery devices, product authenticity or authorised distribution arrangements, and the capacity to supply multiple replacement units within a short hospital contract. Experience of NHS purchasing and the ability to provide clear product, compliance and delivery documentation would support competitiveness. Businesses specialising in medical devices, flexible scopes, urology equipment or NHS-compatible replacement programmes are the closest fit when this type of requirement is next considered.
