UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol NHS Foundation Trust purchased electrocardiogram (ECG) equipment for use in NHS healthcare services. The requirement is for goods rather than installation, maintenance or a broader clinical service. The procurement falls within medical equipment and related healthcare products (CPV 33000000). Delivery covers locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a national-scale equipment requirement managed by the Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, so it is relevant to manufacturers, authorised medical-device distributors and suppliers with the ability to serve NHS organisations across multiple English regions. The single completed lot covered the ECG purchase and was awarded to GE Healthcare.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bristol NHS Foundation Trust selected GE Healthcare on 9 September 2026 under a selective procedure using an existing framework agreement. The award was non-competitive at this stage, consistent with a framework call-off, and relates to one completed lot. The award value is £124,264 excluding VAT, or £149,116.80 including VAT. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2027, with signature scheduled for 22 September 2026. The award is above the relevant threshold. GE Healthcare is the sole awarded supplier. The process therefore records a completed framework-based purchase of ECG equipment rather than an open competition for a new standalone contract.

For a supplier that did not win this purchase, the award demonstrates an NHS requirement for ECG equipment that can be fulfilled through a framework-based route and delivered across England. A credible competitor would need a dependable range of ECG devices, established medical-equipment supply arrangements and the operational capacity to support orders across multiple NHS locations. Framework access or an equivalent route to public-sector purchasing would be important, as would the ability to meet NHS procurement, product documentation, delivery and assurance requirements. GE Healthcare’s selection shows that established large-scale medical-equipment providers can satisfy this type of requirement. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate consistent national distribution, responsive account management and experience supplying clinical organisations with regulated equipment.
