UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust rented two Neptune Rover theatre waste management systems and one docking system for use in operating theatres. The equipment supports management of theatre waste; the procurement is for the rental of medical devices rather than their purchase. Delivery was specified for North Tyneside and a further location in the North East of England. The Trust is the buying organisation, and the selected supplier was Stryker UK Limited. The requirement was grouped into one lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. Stryker UK Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 12 June 2026 and runs from 15 June to 14 December 2026. Its value is £12,000 excluding VAT (£14,400 including VAT). The requirement was for a six-month rental of two theatre waste management systems and one docking system. The available process information does not set out evaluation criteria; the award followed the stated non-competitive route.

For suppliers considering similar requirements from Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, this award indicates demand for rental, rather than outright purchase, of specialist operating-theatre waste management equipment. A credible competitor would need access to Neptune Rover systems and a compatible docking system, together with the ability to supply and support this equipment for a defined short-term period at the Trust’s North East sites. The contract went to Stryker UK Limited through a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation standard or show that alternative products were assessed. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate that their equipment meets the Trust’s theatre waste-management needs and that they can deliver a complete, workable system at the required scale.
