UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought one Sentimag Gen 3 system with a thin probe attachment. This is a medical equipment purchase for the Trust’s hospital operations in Norwich. The requirement is for the complete system and specified probe attachment rather than a general medical equipment supply. The procurement falls within the medical equipment category. Hologic Limited, a large UK supplier based in Wythenshawe, was selected to provide the equipment. The buying organisation is an NHS Foundation Trust, so businesses active in supplying specialist hospital equipment and systems to NHS customers will find the requirement most relevant. The purchase is focused on one named system, with the thin probe attachment forming part of the specified requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Hologic Limited received the award for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £48,000 including VAT. The contract is active. This was a goods procurement rather than a services or works contract. The award concerns one Sentimag Gen 3 system with a thin probe attachment. The contracting authority is Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The published outcome identifies Hologic Limited as the selected supplier and records the procurement as completed.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust purchases specialist medical equipment as a defined, single-system requirement through a limited competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to supply the named Sentimag Gen 3 system or an equivalent offering capable of meeting the specified thin probe attachment requirement. Relevant businesses are likely to be specialist medical-device manufacturers, authorised distributors or suppliers with established NHS hospital equipment capability. The procurement also indicates that the buyer can source a relatively focused equipment requirement rather than a broad framework, making product fit, supply authority and the ability to fulfil a single-system order central to competitiveness.
