Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought two Titan units, described as new equipment to support increased workload generated by new clinics. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, classified under CPV 33100000. The purchasing organisation is based at Hills Road, Cambridge, and the equipment is for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement covered a single requirement rather than a collection of separately described service or works packages. The selected supplier was Diatec Diagnostics Ltd, an SME based in Birmingham. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers able to provide Titan equipment for clinical use and support delivery to an NHS hospital trust.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold route, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The award was made to Diatec Diagnostics Ltd on 20 August 2026. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 November 2026. Its value is £22,690.90 excluding VAT, or £27,229.80 including VAT. The award covers the two Titan units for the single requirement. The published outcome identifies the goods category but does not set out an award-criteria weighting, a competitive evaluation formula, or supplier eligibility requirements. The contract is active and the procurement itself is complete.

This award is evidence that Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has demand for specialist clinical equipment when new clinics increase workload. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply Titan equipment or an equivalent product accepted by the trust, understand the operational needs of NHS clinical services, and manage delivery of multiple units within a short implementation period. Relevant businesses include medical equipment manufacturers, UK distributors and specialist healthcare technology suppliers with reliable access to the required equipment. Diatec Diagnostics Ltd’s selection shows that an SME can satisfy this type of below-threshold hospital purchase. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable product supply, practical implementation support and experience serving clinical organisations.
