Summary of the contracting process

NHS Ayrshire & Arran procured one S70N ultrasound machine from GE Medical Systems Ltd for cardiology services at University Hospital Crosshouse. The requirement covers medical imaging equipment, specifically a single ultrasound system, supplied under the NP167/22 Multi Modality Imaging Equipment and Maintenance Framework. Delivery and use are for the Ayrshire and Arran area. The procurement is classified as goods and corresponds to CPV 33112300, ultrasound equipment. The requirement is associated with cardiology and the University Hospital Crosshouse, indicating a clinical diagnostic imaging application rather than general equipment supply. The framework context also connects the purchase with equipment maintenance arrangements, so businesses active in diagnostic ultrasound supply and associated support services are the relevant comparators.

This completed procurement was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. NHS Ayrshire & Arran made a direct award from the NP167/22 Multi Modality Imaging Equipment and Maintenance Framework. GE Medical Systems Ltd was selected for the single lot. One bid was received, submitted electronically; the recorded bidder was from outside the EU and the lot received no SME bids. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and is active, with a value of £65,000. The contracting process was recorded on 21 August 2026. The award route was therefore a framework call-off rather than an open competition, and the available outcome shows one supplier selected for the ultrasound equipment requirement.

This opportunity provides clear evidence of NHS Ayrshire & Arran demand for specialist cardiology ultrasound equipment through an established multi-modality imaging and maintenance framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply clinical-grade ultrasound systems suitable for cardiology use, understand NHS clinical and operational environments, and support installation, commissioning and reliable ongoing maintenance. The single-bid outcome and selection of a large specialist medical equipment supplier indicate that technical product capability, manufacturer or authorised-supplier status, and the capacity to provide dependable lifecycle support are commercially important. Businesses with experience delivering diagnostic imaging equipment to NHS or comparable healthcare organisations, and with access to suitable framework routes, would be best placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
