Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured deployable medical diagnosis equipment for defence use. The package includes commercially available software, installation, specialist support and a warranty. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the equipment identified as medical equipment. The requirement combines the supply of deployable diagnostic systems with the software and services needed to install and support them. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Defence, a central government department. The equipment is intended to be deployable, but no delivery location is identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fujifilm Healthcare UK Ltd. The gross awarded value is £261,720, including VAT; the stated value excluding VAT is £218,100. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 26 October 2028, and the scheduled signature date is 24 October 2026. The Ministry of Defence used a direct award, citing exclusive intellectual property or other rights and technical reasons that meant only one supplier could provide the requirement. There was one lot, marked as suitable for SMEs. The award is recorded as pending, so the contract award is reported but its final status is not shown as active.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from the Ministry of Defence, this award shows demand for deployable medical diagnostic equipment delivered as a supported package, rather than equipment alone. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable diagnostic systems, provide or integrate the required software, install the equipment and offer specialist support and warranty cover. The direct award rationale indicates that intellectual property or other exclusive rights and technical compatibility were decisive in this purchase. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement next comes to market would therefore need to demonstrate control of the necessary rights, or a technically viable alternative that meets the Ministry’s needs, alongside the ability to deliver and support deployable medical equipment. The single lot was marked as suitable for SMEs.
