UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust purchased one Konan CellCheck CC-20 clinical specular microscope. This is a specialist medical-equipment supply for clinical use within the Trust’s hospital services in Norwich. The requirement is for the complete supply of the named microscope rather than a broader equipment programme. Businesses active in ophthalmic diagnostic equipment, clinical microscopy or the supply of comparable hospital-use medical devices would recognise this as a focused equipment requirement. The named buyer is the NHS Foundation Trust serving Norfolk and Norwich, so relevant suppliers would need to understand the operating environment of a UK hospital and the requirements associated with supplying equipment for clinical use.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded directly, below the applicable threshold and without competition, to Instinctive Limnited. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 14 July 2026 to 27 November 2026. Its value is £28,410 excluding VAT, or £34,092 including VAT. There was one lot covering the microscope purchase. The award relates to medical equipment and the supplier is Instinctive Limnited. This outcome records a completed direct procurement rather than a competitive tender, with the buyer selecting a single supplier for the requirement. The contract period covers supply and the associated active contractual term.

For competing suppliers, this procurement demonstrates a specific NHS requirement for a Konan CellCheck CC-20 clinical specular microscope, or an equivalent capability if the requirement is later specified differently. Relevant businesses are specialist medical-equipment distributors, ophthalmic diagnostic technology suppliers and manufacturers with established routes into NHS hospitals. A credible competitor would need the capability to supply the named clinical device, support procurement by a public healthcare organisation and handle the practical requirements of a focused hospital equipment purchase. The selected supplier, Instinctive Limnited, is recorded as a large business, indicating that the buyer accepted a supplier with substantial organisational capacity for this requirement.
