Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured ophthalmology consumables for use with phacoemulsification equipment. The products include phaco packs, peripherals such as leads for Stellaris devices, and consumables including eyefill. This is a supply requirement rather than a works or service contract, centred on equipment-related products used in eye surgery. Delivery is for the Trust in Sheffield. The procurement was organised as a single lot, covering the described phaco consumables and associated peripherals.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bausch & Lomb U.K. Limited. The award was made on 14 September 2026, with a gross value of £113,070 (net £90,456). The contract period runs from 12 October to 31 December 2026. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition, under the Procurement Act 2023. The process comprised one lot, which is complete. The award is active; a contract signature was scheduled for 12 October 2026. The published outcome relates to the interim supply arrangement for the Trust’s phaco consumables. No separate evaluation or award criteria are stated.

This award shows demand from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals for ophthalmology consumables and peripherals compatible with its Stellaris phaco equipment, including phaco packs, leads and eyefill. A supplier competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide the relevant products and demonstrate dependable supply across a focused range of surgical consumables and device accessories. Product compatibility with Stellaris equipment is central to the stated requirement. The award went to a large medical-products supplier through a direct, non-competitive route, so a credible competitor would also need to understand the buyer’s route to market and be positioned to meet its specific supply needs. The procurement indicates a relatively focused interim requirement, rather than a broad equipment or clinical-services contract.
