UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust procured Megapulse laser fibres for use with its Megapulse laser. This is a supply requirement for specialist surgical laser consumables, rather than the purchase of a laser system or a wider clinical service. The procurement was organised as one lot and the goods were intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The supplier selected was Richard Wolf UK Limited, a medical technology company. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers and distributors able to supply compatible Megapulse laser fibres for hospital use and to support the buyer’s need for these consumables.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Richard Wolf UK Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). The award is for Megapulse laser fibres, classified as surgical laser equipment. The published procurement data does not give separate scoring criteria or supplier eligibility requirements; the outcome records a direct award rather than a competed evaluation.

This award indicates a specific, hospital-level demand for Megapulse laser fibres from University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust. Suppliers competing for a comparable future requirement would need to supply fibres compatible with the Trust’s Megapulse laser and be able to meet the needs of a healthcare setting. The selected supplier, Richard Wolf UK Limited, is a specialist medical technology company, suggesting that product fit and the ability to provide the required equipment are central to this purchase. Manufacturers and distributors with an established supply route for these fibres are the most relevant competitors. The buyer used a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers should note that the route used for this purchase did not involve a tender evaluation.
