## Summary

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured two replacement thoracic bronchoscopes, classed as medical equipment and forming part of the NHS requirement for flexible endoscopes, associated options and related services. The equipment was for the Trust’s hospital operations in Nottingham, at the City Hospital Campus. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or services contract. The requirement was linked to a capital bid identified as PROJ006948 and was covered by the NHS framework for flexible endoscopes and associated options and related services. Businesses supplying thoracic bronchoscopes, flexible endoscopy equipment or closely associated products for NHS hospitals would be relevant to this requirement. The named supplier was Olympus Keymed Group Limited, a large medical-equipment business based in Southend-on-Sea.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than a standalone open competition. The contract was awarded to Olympus Keymed Group Limited on 7 September 2026 for GBP 67,116. The contract period ran from 7 September 2026 to 7 September 2026, covering the replacement of two thoracic bronchoscopes. The estimated procurement range was GBP 55,930 to GBP 67,116. The tender submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 12:00. The award was active, and the contract value matched the awarded value. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation details are not set out in the available procurement information.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award is evidence that Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust buys specialist thoracic bronchoscopy equipment through an NHS framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need to supply replacement bronchoscopes suitable for hospital use and be positioned to meet the requirements of the relevant flexible-endoscopy framework. The scale indicates a focused equipment replacement rather than a broad estates or clinical-services contract. Suppliers should therefore have a strong medical-device product range, the capacity to provide two specialist instruments, and the operational ability to support NHS hospital procurement and delivery requirements. The successful supplier’s large-business scale also indicates competition from established medical-equipment manufacturers or distributors with framework access and experience supplying NHS trusts.
