Summary of the contracting process

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought Stellaris machines, classified as medical equipment, for its hospital services. The procurement title identifies the equipment as “DBTH BL Stellaris Machines”; the contract is titled “Stellaris machines”. The Trust is based in Doncaster. The published scope identifies the machines but does not describe their configuration, quantity or intended clinical use, so suppliers should treat the named equipment as the defining requirement rather than assume a broader supply or service package.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust awarded it directly to Bausch & Lomb UK without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 May 2029. Its value is £68,040 excluding VAT and £81,648 including VAT. The available information does not give a separate award date. The procurement comprised one lot, for which the contract was awarded to Bausch & Lomb UK.

For suppliers assessing future demand from this Trust, this award is evidence of a purchase of Stellaris medical equipment, made directly without competition under a below-threshold route. A credible competitor would need to supply the specified Stellaris machines and be able to meet the Trust’s requirement for this equipment. The named successful supplier, Bausch & Lomb UK, is a large company, showing that a supplier of substantial scale fulfilled this purchase; the procurement does not state technical accreditation, service, installation or maintenance requirements, so these should not be assumed. The requirement is narrowly focused on the named machines, rather than a wider medical-equipment supply opportunity.
