UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured an ultrasound refit involving building construction work. The requirement supports the Trust’s ultrasound facilities and was awarded to Philips Electronics UK Limited. The buyer is based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, and the work is associated with the Trust’s healthcare estate in the United Kingdom. This is a construction opportunity focused on adapting or refitting premises for ultrasound use, rather than the supply of ultrasound equipment itself. Businesses with experience delivering building works in healthcare environments, particularly where construction activity must support clinical imaging facilities, would find the requirement most relevant. The named supplier is a large healthcare technology company, indicating that the works were delivered alongside an established medical technology provider.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. Philips Electronics UK Limited received the award on 24 August 2026 for the single lot. The awarded contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and has a gross value of £319,945.60, comprising £266,621.33 excluding tax. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 24 August 2026. The contract is for building works and the award remains active. The published outcome records Medway NHS Foundation Trust as the buyer and Philips Electronics UK Limited as the selected supplier. Evaluation was therefore not based on a competitive tender, and the procurement used a single-lot route.

This award demonstrates demand from Medway NHS Foundation Trust for substantial building work connected with an ultrasound refit. A future competitor would need to provide construction capability suited to healthcare premises and the practical delivery capacity to complete a sizeable, tightly timed refit. Experience working around clinical services and medical technology installations would help a supplier demonstrate that it can coordinate building activity with the operational needs of an NHS hospital. The requirement also shows that the buyer has used a direct, below-threshold route for this type of work, so businesses monitoring similar Trust requirements should be able to explain their construction capability clearly and respond efficiently to smaller, focused healthcare-estate projects. Philips’ involvement suggests coordination with a specialist healthcare technology provider may be important.
