## Summary

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is undertaking a procurement process for the replacement of obsolete drill systems used in spinal services, specifically targeting 6 devices under the category of surgical instruments. The contracting process, initiated through a direct award with Johnson & Johnson Medical Limited, is now at the award stage. The procurement falls within the goods category, with the award value set at £193040 gross (£160866.68 net). The contract period commences on 6th October 2025 and concludes on 28th February 2026, with the standstill period ending on 1st September 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical instruments, particularly those with existing compatibility with established NHS systems. Given the direct award based on component compatibility, companies adept at offering innovative and compatible solutions without comprehensive replacements can find growth avenues. Large-scale suppliers like Johnson & Johnson are likely well-positioned, but adaptable smaller entities that provide value-aligned products may also compete effectively against established iterations in health services procurement.

## Notice

Replacing the current fleet of obsolete power tools for spinal service. The replacement is for 6 devices.

### Procurement Information

The direct award is based on the compatibility of the new power tools with existing drill components. The forward compatible components therefore do not need replacement.
