UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust bought a Haag-Streit HS B1900 slit lamp with an HS600 small table for use in its Emergency Department. This is specialist medical equipment for eye examination, within the broader category of medical equipment. The requirement is for a specific slit-lamp model and accompanying table, rather than a general supply of equipment or a wider clinical service. The named buying organisation is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust; the equipment is intended for its Emergency Department. The procurement was organised as a single lot and covered the supply of the equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. Haag-Streit UK Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 17 September 2026 to 16 September 2027. Its value is £21,510.73 excluding VAT (£25,812.88 including VAT). The purchase is specifically for an HS B1900 slit lamp and HS600 small table. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the contract, but provides no separate award date or evaluation criteria.

For suppliers assessing comparable future demand from West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, the purchase indicates a requirement for specialist ophthalmic examination equipment for an Emergency Department, rather than a broad medical-equipment supply. A credible competitor would need to supply a slit lamp and compatible small table meeting the specified clinical requirement, and to demonstrate that the equipment is suitable for use in an emergency-care setting. The selected supplier, Haag-Streit UK Ltd, is a large equipment supplier, showing that an established supplier was selected for this particular purchase. The limited-competition route also indicates that suppliers should be positioned to participate in a restricted competitive process if a similar requirement is taken to market again.
