Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust bought procedure chairs for its Eye Department. The requirement is for medical equipment and was sourced through the NHS Supply Chain Framework for Medical Healthcare Furniture. The chairs are intended for use in the Trust’s eye-care services, with delivery associated with the Trust’s Colchester operation at Colchester District General Hospital. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or construction contract. The requirement was handled through an existing framework, so it is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist healthcare furniture suppliers able to provide procedure chairs for NHS clinical departments and work within NHS Supply Chain arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using an NHS Supply Chain framework. Price was the stated evaluation criterion, and one bid was recorded. The award was made to DP Medical Systems on 10 August 2026. An active contract was signed on that date for £17,468 excluding any unspecified tax treatment. The tender record describes the single lot as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are recorded as active. The process therefore resulted in a contract award despite that lot status. The contract value is stated in pounds sterling.

This procurement demonstrates a focused NHS requirement for procedure chairs in an Eye Department, with the buyer using a framework route and selecting on price. Suppliers considering similar work for East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust would need to offer suitable clinical procedure chairs, understand the practical requirements of eye-care environments and provide dependable delivery to an NHS hospital setting. Credibility would also depend on being able to supply through the relevant NHS Supply Chain healthcare furniture framework, or an equivalent route used by the Trust. The single recorded bid indicates that framework access, competitive pricing and a straightforward supply capability were central to this purchase.
