Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured two solid-state catheters for high-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM), under the title “HRIM Solid State Catheter”. The goods are catheter accessories and catheters, intended to work with the Trust’s current equipment. The requirement is for the Trust’s hospitals and clinical services in Leeds. The procurement concerns the supply of physical medical devices rather than installation, maintenance or a wider clinical service. The product was specified because Laborie’s solid-state catheter was identified as the only option fitting the Trust’s existing equipment. This is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers able to provide compatible HRIM catheter technology for NHS use.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Laborie Medical Technologies UK was awarded the single lot on 7 August 2026. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 8 August 2026 to 7 August 2027. Its value is £42,247.88 excluding VAT, or £50,697.46 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was not competitive: the Trust used a direct award because Laborie’s product was considered the only option compatible with its current equipment. The requirement covers one lot for the supply of two solid-state catheters.

This award indicates a focused requirement for specialist HRIM catheter technology rather than general medical supplies. Suppliers would need a solid-state catheter that integrates with Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust’s existing equipment, together with the capability to supply the required devices reliably for NHS clinical use. Laborie Medical Technologies UK’s product was selected because it was identified as the only compatible option, so demonstrable technical compatibility would be central to any comparable future requirement. Credible competitors would also need established medical-device supply arrangements, suitable product support and the ability to provide small-volume, high-value specialist equipment rather than a broad catalogue alone. The relevant market is specialist catheter and catheter-accessory provision.
