## Summary

The procurement process involves the COUNTY DURHAM AND DARLINGTON NHS FOUNDATION TRUST, seeking to centralise the Endoscopy Decontamination unit for capital equipment valued at £340,204. This process, classified under the CPV code for endoscopy devices, is currently in the Award stage, with the contract effective from 31 January 2022 to 30 January 2023. The tender period concluded on 30 January 2022, and the project is located in the North East of England.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in medical equipment, specifically those with expertise in automated endoscope re-processors. Companies that are well-positioned to compete include those capable of providing innovative solutions for high-level disinfected endoscopes, particularly organisations experienced in the healthcare supply chain. The awarding authority aims to enhance patient treatment reliability, creating a need for dependable suppliers in this critical field.

## Notice

The Endoscopy Decontamination Department at CDDFT currently operates across three sites producing high-level disinfected flexible Endoscopes for patient use. There are currently 11 Automated Endoscope Re-processors (AER's) in operation: DMH: 4; BAH: 3; UHND: 4, each with 2 chambers. The scopes are cleaned in a single chamber. The AER processors are past their life-cycle age and need urgent replacement. The user departments are encountering reliability issues which are directly affecting patient treatment. The current departments do not currently hold external accreditation for the production process. The decision was made in 2019 to centralize the unit into one site at DMH and make use of the space vacated by the centralization of the CSSD unit into UHND. In March 2021 funding was approved to proceed with the detailed design phase of the construction works required for the centralized unit. This has been completed to RIBA stage 4 by QEF.
