Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured a service to support quality assurance for its ultrasound equipment. This is a specialist healthcare equipment testing and quality-assurance requirement, rather than a purchase of ultrasound machines. The Trust is based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The procurement covers one lot. The available description does not define the equipment inventory, testing schedule or delivery sites, so the requirement is best matched by suppliers able to provide ultrasound quality-assurance services to an NHS trust.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust used limited competition below the applicable threshold. Multi-Medix Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 1 October 2026. The recorded contract value is £107,312.40, with a gross value of £178,854. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend for two years, potentially taking the period to 1 October 2031. The process was divided into one lot.

For suppliers seeking to compete when this Trust next needs ultrasound quality assurance, the relevant offer is a dependable specialist service for quality-assuring ultrasound equipment in a healthcare setting. Multi-Medix Ltd’s selection shows that the Trust has used limited competition for this requirement. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the technical competence and capacity to deliver the required assurance service; the procurement details do not set out particular accreditations or other supplier qualifications.
