Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a Seiler Medical 955 colposcope with an imaging cart for its Central Delivery Suite at Royal Sussex County Hospital. This is a medical equipment purchase supporting colposcopy services, with the stated purpose of maintaining compatibility with the Trust’s existing equipment and standardising its colposcopy provision. The buyer is based in Worthing and the delivery location is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is classified as a colposcope and medical equipment. It is a single goods requirement, and the procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The equipment is intended to support continuity of care and reduce operational and clinical risks associated with changing systems.

The procurement has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The selected supplier is NJ DEVICES LTD, an SME. The award value is £35,305 excluding VAT, or £42,366 including VAT. The award covers the single colposcope and imaging cart requirement. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 5 September 2026, with signature scheduled for 3 September 2026. The direct award was justified because the equipment must be the same as, or compatible with, existing goods. The stated evaluation basis was therefore compatibility and standardisation rather than a competitive comparison between bids. The tender status is complete.

This procurement indicates demand from University Hospitals Sussex for specialist colposcopy equipment that integrates with an existing clinical environment. A credible future supplier would need to provide the required colposcope and imaging capability, demonstrate compatibility with equipment already in use, and support the Trust’s standardised approach to colposcopy services. Suppliers should be able to address continuity of care, minimise disruption caused by retraining, and give confidence that their equipment will not introduce avoidable operational or clinical risks. The requirement was suitable for an SME and was delivered as a focused goods purchase, so medical equipment businesses with a compatible product and the ability to supply a complete imaging-cart solution are the closest comparator suppliers.
