Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured insulin pumps and related consumables for use in Cambridge. This is a supply requirement for insulin-delivery equipment and its associated consumable products, classified as infusion devices and instruments. The Trust is the buyer, and the requirement was handled as one lot. The procurement relates specifically to insulin pumps and consumables; it does not describe a broader medical equipment or hospital supplies programme. The delivery location is given as Cambridge, so suppliers serving this area and able to supply the specified equipment and consumables are the most directly relevant.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust awarded the single-lot contract to Advanced Therapeutics (UK) Limited. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026 and runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 January 2027. Its stated value is £25,663.81 excluding VAT and £30,796.57 including VAT. The procurement was described as below threshold, with no procedure detail beyond that. The published procurement data does not state an evaluation basis or specific eligibility conditions, so the award outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not establish the criteria used to select it.

This award shows that Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust buys insulin pumps together with their consumables as a focused supply requirement, rather than as part of a wider equipment package. A credible competitor when this requirement next returns to market would need to supply insulin-delivery devices and maintain dependable access to compatible consumables, with the capacity to serve the Trust in Cambridge. The selected supplier was an SME, demonstrating that the scale of this requirement was within reach of a smaller specialist supplier. Businesses with a relevant product range, reliable fulfilment and experience supplying clinical equipment to NHS organisations are therefore best placed to compete. The award provides evidence of the buyer’s demand and purchasing route; it does not establish particular technical standards or accreditations.
