## Summary

The procurement process for the purchase of HandyRef-K Handheld refractometers/keratometers has been completed by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, focusing on the medical equipment industry. Located in Leeds, this procurement falls under the ‘goods’ category and employed a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The award for this tender was made on 11th December 2025, with a contract period set to commence on 6th March 2026 and conclude on 5th March 2031. The process reached the award stage, with the contract valued at £19,197.60. Delivery is applicable to various locations including the UK and other regions globally.

This tender provides ample opportunities for businesses within the medical equipment sector to handle sophisticated optical diagnostic devices, especially those capable of fulfilling large-volume international orders. However, it may not be suitable for small or voluntary sector enterprises as the procurement suitability criteria indicate a preference for larger operations. Businesses experienced with framework agreements and extensive distribution capabilities within the UK and internationally would be well-positioned to capitalise on similar opportunities. The contract has been awarded to Birmingham Optical Group Limited, creating a benchmark for similar enterprises targeting government healthcare contracts.
