Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured endoscopes and other electromedical equipment for courses delivered through its Endoscopy Training Academy. The requirement falls within medical equipment supply and supports the Trust’s ability to run specialist endoscopy training. Delivery is for the Trust in Cambridge, within the United Kingdom. The procurement covered one completed requirement, with the equipment associated with the Trust’s endoscopy training activity. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would be manufacturers, distributors or specialist medical-equipment suppliers able to provide endoscopes and related electromedical equipment for clinical education and training use. The buyer is a public NHS foundation trust, so suppliers should be familiar with supplying healthcare organisations and meeting their operational and assurance requirements.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is “Below threshold - unknown”. One lot was completed. ERGEA UK and Ireland Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 19 August 2026. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 November 2026. Its value is £39,100 excluding VAT, or £46,920 including VAT. The award covers medical equipment for the Endoscopy Training Academy, including endoscopes and electromedical equipment. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome records one supplier and one contract for the requirement. No award date or separate evaluation weighting is recorded in the procurement details.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist endoscopy and electromedical equipment supporting professional training. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust would need a proven ability to supply suitable medical equipment, particularly endoscopy equipment, and to support its use in an education setting. Relevant strengths would include reliable product sourcing, technical knowledge, product assurance, delivery coordination and the capacity to deal with an NHS foundation trust. Suppliers should be able to understand the practical needs of an Endoscopy Training Academy rather than offering general medical equipment alone. The awarded supplier is a large business, indicating that scale and established healthcare supply capability may be useful when competing for this buyer’s requirements.
