Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a replacement flexible scopes model for its urology department. The requirement concerns an endoscope that had become beyond economical repair, supporting the department’s ongoing diagnostic and clinical procedures. The procurement is categorised as goods, specifically endoscopes (CPV 33168100). The work and delivery relate to Cambridge and the surrounding area served by the Trust. The Trust is the buying organisation, while NHS England is identified as the supplier. This opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors, repair and replacement specialists, and other businesses supplying endoscopy equipment for NHS urology services. It is focused on replacing a specific failed scope rather than providing a broad clinical equipment programme.

The procurement has been completed and the single lot was awarded. The procedure was described as below threshold, with the detailed method recorded as unknown. NHS England received the award, which is active. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 November 2026. Its value is £71,603.20 excluding VAT, or £85,923.84 including VAT. The award relates to the replacement flexible scope model for the urology department. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one awarded lot. No separate evaluation weighting or award criteria are recorded in the procurement outcome. This is a short, defined supply contract rather than a multi-year framework or service arrangement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Cambridge University Hospitals for specialist endoscopy equipment supporting urology services, at a scale suitable for an established equipment supplier or NHS-facing distributor. Businesses well placed for a comparable requirement would understand flexible endoscope specifications, clinical compatibility, procurement compliance and the practical replacement of equipment that is beyond economical repair. Relevant capability includes supplying reliable scopes, confirming technical fit with existing departmental systems, arranging delivery and supporting product assurance. Experience with NHS trusts or other healthcare providers would help a competitor evidence its understanding of clinical environments and public-sector purchasing. Manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers should monitor this buyer’s future requirements for replacement scopes and related endoscopy equipment.
