Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian, located in Aberdeen, recently completed a procurement process for an Elite Diagnostic Ultrasound System, a key acquisition in the health industry category. The procurement, identified by contract ID FWC099-24, was undertaken through a limited method, allowing for a direct award without prior competition publication, via the public sector framework NP167/22. This method was justified following clinical trials and evaluations of the products. The contract, valued at £154,430, was awarded on 13th February 2025, with Philips Electronics UK Limited as the supplier. The ultrasound systems will be delivered to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary & Woodend Hospitals, signalling significant advancements in healthcare provision.

This procurement process presents notable opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of medical diagnostic equipment, particularly those capable of demonstrating excellence through clinical trials and evaluations. Larger enterprises with a robust reputation in the healthcare sector, like Philips Electronics UK Limited, appear well-suited to compete in direct award frameworks under public sector agreements. While this specific tender is complete, businesses of similar scale and capability should look for upcoming frameworks and trials as a channel to secure contracts and expand their footprint in the healthcare industry, especially within the NHS and other public health organisations.
