Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured medical consumables: Magseed and Magtrace products for use with the Sentimag system. The requirement is a pricing agreement for these specialist surgical products, rather than general hospital supplies. The buying organisation is the NHS Foundation Trust based at Colney Lane, Norwich, and the products are intended for use within its hospital services. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the relevant product classification covering medical consumables. Suppliers suited to this requirement are manufacturers, authorised distributors or specialist medical-device providers able to supply Magseed and Magtrace consumables that work with the Sentimag system. The selected supplier, Hologic Limited, is a large UK company specialising in the relevant product range.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Hologic Limited was selected on 31 August 2026 for the single lot. The award value is £62,000 excluding VAT and £74,400 including VAT. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 17 December 2028. The award is active, and a signature milestone was scheduled for 14 September 2026. The contracting route indicates that the requirement was placed directly with the selected supplier rather than evaluated through a competitive tender. The awarded scope covers the supply of Magseed and Magtrace consumables for the Trust’s Sentimag system.

This award shows sustained demand from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for specialist breast-surgery and related medical consumables used with the Sentimag system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable access to Magseed and Magtrace products, clear technical compatibility with Sentimag equipment, and the ability to supply a hospital customer consistently under an agreed pricing arrangement. Relevant businesses are likely to include the product manufacturer, an authorised UK distributor, or a medical-device supplier with established NHS supply capability. Evidence of reliable fulfilment, product traceability, responsive account management and familiarity with hospital procurement requirements would strengthen a competing proposition. The single-supplier award also suggests that product-specific availability and compatibility are central to this requirement.
