## Summary

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured a replacement trans-rectal ultrasound scanner, classed as medical equipment, for use at the City Hospital Campus in Nottingham. The requirement covers the scanner and associated options and related services. It is a goods procurement for the Trust’s clinical operations. The procurement formed part of the Ultrasound Scanners and Associated Options and Related Services framework. The named buying organisation is Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, whose Procurement & Supply Chain Department is based at City Hospital Campus, Nottingham. The equipment was intended to replace an existing trans-rectal ultrasound scanner rather than provide a broader imaging service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 7 August 2026 to GE Healthcare Limited for £98,762.40 including the stated contract value; the estimated minimum value was £82,302. The contract period ran from 7 August 2026 to 8 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with one active award recorded. Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is the buyer and GE Healthcare Limited is the selected supplier. The process was not reserved for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award evidences demand from an NHS acute hospital for replacement trans-rectal ultrasound equipment and associated support. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be manufacturers or specialist medical-equipment providers able to supply this type of ultrasound scanner, configure associated options and provide the related services needed for deployment. Credibility would also depend on having access to the relevant ultrasound framework or an equivalent public-sector purchasing route, together with the operational capacity to deliver quickly within a short contract window. Businesses competing in this market should be prepared to demonstrate a suitable clinical product, reliable implementation support and experience of supplying NHS organisations through structured framework arrangements.
