UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought a Sonosite ST ultrasound system, a medical imaging scanner used to produce ultrasound images. The procurement was for one equipment requirement, classified as goods, with delivery to Cambridge. The Trust is the buyer and the equipment was supplied by Fujifilm SonoSite Ltd. This is a focused purchase of a named ultrasound system rather than a broader imaging service or works contract. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers and medical-equipment suppliers able to supply this system, or to businesses involved in its distribution and delivery to the Trust.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Fujifilm SonoSite Ltd. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 20 October 2026 to 19 January 2027. Its value is £27,930 excluding VAT (£33,516 including VAT). The purchase was handled as a below-threshold procurement; the recorded procedure detail does not identify a specific method. There was one lot, covering the ultrasound system, and one supplier was selected. The published data does not set out award criteria or eligibility requirements, so no evaluation basis or participation conditions can be reported.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, this award shows demand for a specific Sonosite ST ultrasound system, rather than for a broad range of imaging equipment or an ongoing service. A credible competitor would need to supply the named system and meet the Trust’s delivery requirement in Cambridge. Fujifilm SonoSite Ltd, a large supplier, won this single-equipment purchase, indicating that the buyer selected a specialist manufacturer or supplier able to provide the specified product. Businesses with a relevant manufacturer relationship, product availability and experience supplying ultrasound equipment to NHS organisations would be best placed to compete when this same requirement returns to market. The recorded procurement route was below threshold; the award does not establish technical, accreditation or service requirements beyond the equipment purchase.
