Summary of the contracting process

On 24th February 2026, NHS Ayrshire & Arran, located in Ayr, announced the completion of a procurement process for premium ultrasound scanners, namely the Aplio I Prism Edition and Aplio I WHC Prism Edition, intended for UHA Maternity and ACH. This procurement falls within the health industry category and was conducted through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition under the NP16722 Multi-Modality Imaging Equipment & Maintenance Framework Agreement. The procurement process was directly awarded to Canon Medical Systems Ltd, based in Crawley, for goods delivery to the Ayrshire and Arran health board, with a contract value of £130,310 signed on 9th February 2026.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity for large-scale businesses specialising in medical imaging equipment, specifically ultrasound scanners. Given the direct award method, businesses with existing framework agreements and those capable of supplying high-quality medical goods are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future. Suppliers with strong relations within the NHS or similar health boards, and those adept at managing direct awards, will likely find success in such procurement processes.
