## Summary

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust purchased an ultrasound scanner for use at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement was for an ultrasound machine, classified as a medical ultrasound scanner (CPV 33112300). This is a goods purchase rather than a service or construction contract, with delivery associated with the hospital’s IP33 2QZ location. The procurement was managed by the Trust, which is also the buyer. The scope described is the purchase of the scanner; no wider equipment package or associated services are identified.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited. The award date was 28 September 2026, and the awarded value was £48,279.59. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2027. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The stated tender deadline was 16 September 2026 at 12:00. The purchase was classified as goods and described as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots are identified. The award is active, and the published contract period is one year.

For suppliers competing when West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust next requires an ultrasound scanner, this award shows that the Trust buys medical imaging equipment through a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than a standalone open competition. A credible competitor would need access to the relevant framework route and the ability to supply an ultrasound machine to the Trust’s hospital in Bury St Edmunds. The selected supplier was a large organisation, and the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating a requirement positioned for suppliers able to operate at larger scale. The published scope is limited to the scanner purchase, so suppliers whose strength is medical imaging equipment supply are the closest fit.
