The tender was classified under the medical industry's category for endoscopy and endosurgery devices, specifically targeting Worthing, St Richards, and Soutlands locations in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement, facilitated via a selective call-off from the NHSSC Framework for Rigid and Semi Rigid Endoscopes, resulted in a contract awarded on 10th March 2026 to Karl Storz Endoscopy (UK) Limited. Covering a contract period from 11th March to 10th April 2026, the tender has reached the award stage with a contract value of £28,108.82.
