UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is buying the manufacture and supply of custom-made cranial plates. The plates must be 3D printed from titanium alloy (Ti64) and are surgical implants. The requirement is for supply to the Trust in Cambridge. The work is a specialist medical-device manufacturing and supply contract, suited to businesses able to produce bespoke cranial implants and deliver them to a hospital buyer.

The Trust invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is divided into one lot. The deadline for questions was 3 November 2026 at 13:00, and the submission deadline was 17 November 2026 at 13:00. The estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 28 January 2027 to 27 January 2031, with an option to extend for 12 months. The award decision was due by 15 January 2027. Evaluation weights technical quality at 50%, commercial price at 40% and social value at 10%.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers with the capability to manufacture and supply custom-made, 3D-printed titanium alloy cranial plates for surgical use. Businesses with experience producing surgical implants and managing bespoke medical-device manufacture are well placed to compete. The contract calls for supply to a major hospital trust, so suppliers should be able to support its requirements across the contract term and any extension. The evaluation gives most weight to technical quality, with commercial price and social value also assessed.
