UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is buying Fresnel prisms, described as dioptre consumables, for use in its healthcare services. This is a supply contract for medical consumables. The procurement is arranged as a single lot, with the requirement grouped together rather than split into separate packages. The buyer is the NHS Trust serving Shrewsbury and Telford. The supplied data does not identify a delivery address or more specific service location, so the work can only be linked to the Trust. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, making it relevant to suppliers able to provide these specialist optical consumables to a hospital buyer.

The Trust invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. The tender deadline and the deadline for enquiries were both set for 2 November 2026 at 11:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028. Its estimated value is £4,892.16 excluding VAT, or £5,870.59 including VAT. There is one lot covering the requirement. The award criteria are referred to in the procurement documents, rather than set out in the published information here. Electronic submission is permitted through the stated procurement portal. The process is at tender stage: the buyer has invited suppliers to submit offers. The tender is not recorded as cancelled or withdrawn.

This is a modest-scale opportunity for suppliers of ophthalmic or optical medical consumables, particularly businesses already able to source or manufacture Fresnel prisms and supply dioptre products to NHS organisations. The lot is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so the requirement is not presented as being reserved for large suppliers. A supplier should be able to meet the Trust’s product requirements and provide dependable supply over the contract term. The information provided does not set out specific accreditations, technical standards, minimum capacity or prior NHS experience, so businesses should check the procurement documents for the detailed specification and award criteria before deciding whether their products and service capability fit.
