Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust procured Omni-tract FastSystem medical equipment from Integra Lifesciences. The equipment supports improved patient safety and efficient retraction during colorectal surgery. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, classified under CPV 33100000. The buying organisation is the NHS Foundation Trust serving University Hospitals Birmingham, with the procurement associated with its Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham site in Edgbaston. Businesses relevant to this requirement are manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers able to provide Omni-tract FastSystem equipment for use in colorectal surgical settings. The requirement concerns a specific surgical retraction system rather than general hospital equipment, so suppliers should have a direct product capability or an established route to supply the named system to NHS hospital services.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was conducted by direct award as a below-threshold procedure without competition, under a waiver arrangement. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026 and runs from 5 July 2026 to 4 July 2031. Its value is £14,583.14 excluding VAT, or £17,499.77 including VAT. Integra Lifesciences was awarded the single lot for the medical equipment requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was not based on competing tenders: the stated route was direct procurement without competition. The arrangement therefore records a named supplier and a defined contract term for Omni-tract FastSystem equipment supporting colorectal surgery at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.

This award indicates established NHS demand for specialist colorectal surgery equipment, specifically a retraction system intended to support patient safety and efficient operating-theatre practice. Competitors seeking to address a future requirement from this buyer would need reliable access to the Omni-tract FastSystem or an equivalent capability accepted by the Trust, together with the technical knowledge to support its use in colorectal procedures. Credibility would also depend on dependable medical-device supply, product compliance, NHS-facing account management and the capacity to maintain continuity of supply across a long-term hospital arrangement. The selected supplier is a large specialist life-sciences business, indicating that established manufacturer or distributor capability, robust fulfilment arrangements and experience supplying clinical equipment to healthcare organisations would be relevant strengths.
