Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian procured two Philips EPIQ CVx ultrasound scanners, classified as medical ultrasound equipment (CPV 33112000). The scanners are for Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, serving clinical imaging needs at the hospital. The requirement was treated as one lot and described as a direct award from a national framework. Philips Electronics UK Limited was selected to supply the scanners. This is a purchase of specialist medical equipment rather than an ultrasound service or installation works; the stated scope is the scanners themselves. NHS Grampian is the buying organisation, based in Aberdeen, and the delivery location is Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. It used an open procedure, with the lot described as a direct award from a national framework. Philips Electronics UK Limited received the contract, valued at £186,000. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and is recorded as active. The award was for a single lot covering the two scanners. The process recorded one bid for the lot, and the available outcome identifies Philips as the supplier. The procurement data does not provide a contract start or end date, so the duration cannot be established. The stated purchasing route is the national framework; no separate evaluation scoring or award weighting is recorded.

For suppliers competing for comparable NHS Grampian requirements, credibility rests on supplying specialist diagnostic ultrasound equipment that meets the clinical needs of a hospital imaging department. The awarded requirement was for two scanners from Philips’ EPIQ CVx range, so manufacturers and authorised medical-equipment suppliers with access to suitable systems are the closest fit. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its equipment can fulfil the requested scanner specification and that it can supply through the relevant national framework route. The award shows a substantial, multi-unit equipment purchase rather than a small peripheral purchase, and the recorded competition consisted of one bid. Suppliers should therefore be positioned to support a defined scanner requirement and compete through the framework arrangement used by NHS Grampian, rather than offer loosely related medical equipment or imaging services.
