UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management bought DermLite Handyscopes, medical devices for non-invasive visual examination of intact skin and capture of high-resolution clinical and dermoscopic images. The requirement is for equipment used in clinical skin assessment. The contract was awarded to Schuco International London Ltd. The buying organisation is based in North Shields; the procurement data does not identify a separate delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot, awarded to Schuco International London Ltd. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 3 to 24 September 2026. Its value is £88,454.94 excluding VAT, or £105,948.84 including VAT. The award date and evaluation criteria are not stated in the procurement details.

For suppliers of clinical examination equipment, this purchase demonstrates demand from Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management for handheld devices that enable non-invasive skin examination and produce high-resolution clinical and dermoscopic images. A credible competitor would need to supply equipment suitable for clinical use, with imaging capabilities that meet this requirement. The selected supplier was a large company, indicating that the contract was placed with an established supplier, although the procurement details do not set out specific qualifications, accreditations or capacity requirements. The purchase was made through a direct award without competition, so a future supplier would need to understand the buyer’s procurement route as well as meet the equipment requirement.
