UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought medical equipment for use in its hospital services in Norwich. The requirement was a GlideScope Core 10 FHD Premium system with a Core Quick Connect cable. This is a specialised airway-management and clinical imaging product rather than a general medical supplies requirement. The procurement covered the equipment as a single completed requirement, supplied by Verathon Medical UK Limited. Businesses operating in medical equipment, airway-management technology, endoscopy or related hospital clinical systems may find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can supply compatible hardware and accessories for NHS hospital use. The equipment classification is medical equipment (CPV 33100000).

The procurement has been awarded and completed through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Verathon Medical UK Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026, runs from 25 August 2026 to 28 November 2026, and is active. Its value is £11,559 excluding VAT, or £13,870.80 including VAT. The contract is for one completed lot covering the GlideScope Core 10 requirement. The contracting authority is Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The published procurement record identifies the process as a direct purchase rather than a competitive tender, so the award reflects a specific supplier selection route for this medical equipment requirement.

For suppliers assessing future NHS demand, this procurement shows a hospital requirement for a specialist GlideScope airway-management system, high-definition clinical imaging and a compatible quick-connect cable. A credible competitor would need to supply the specified clinical equipment reliably, demonstrate compatibility between the main system and accessories, and understand the operational requirements of hospital users. Relevant capability may include medical-device supply, product support, installation or technical assistance, although the recorded requirement centres on purchase of the equipment. Verathon Medical UK Limited is a large supplier, indicating that the buyer selected an established commercial provider for a focused, specialist requirement. Businesses with equivalent products and NHS procurement experience may use this purchase as a benchmark for the buyer’s equipment needs and direct-award route.
