## Summary

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured a fully maintained, unstaffed endoscopy decontamination unit for its endoscopy equipment. The unit is to include a washer, drying cabinet and reverse osmosis system. The work is a clinical equipment service delivered in Nottingham, at the Trust’s City Campus. The requirement combines provision of the equipment with its maintenance; it does not include staffing the unit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Vanguard Healthcare Solutions Limited. The award date was 15 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 17 October 2026 to 16 October 2027. The recorded award value is £852,835; the tender’s estimated value was £343,980. The Trust used a direct award under the NHS Supply Chain framework for managed equipment and clinical service solutions and associated goods, as a framework call-off. The recorded submission deadline was 16 September 2026. The procurement was not divided into lots. The published evaluation basis and detailed participation requirements are not stated in the process information.

This award shows demand from Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust for an integrated endoscopy decontamination service: a supplier must be able to provide and maintain an unstaffed unit equipped with a washer, drying cabinet and reverse osmosis system, suitable for decontaminating the Trust’s endoscopy equipment. Credible competitors will need the equipment capability and maintenance capacity to deliver the combined requirement, rather than supply equipment alone. The route used was a direct award through an NHS Supply Chain framework, so relevant suppliers would need to be positioned to participate through that framework. The contract was awarded to a large supplier; the process does not identify particular accreditations, technical standards or minimum capacity requirements.
