## Summary

The University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed a public procurement process for the rental of an ultrasound system. This process, which falls under the healthcare industry category, involved a 6-month rental extension for a GE Voluson Signature E20 Ultrasound System, crucial for maintaining software uniformity within the department. The procurement, titled "Rental of Ultrasound system," is identified as a direct procurement method conducted below the competition threshold. The award was granted to GE Medical Systems Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Chalfont St Giles, UK. This process reached its award stage on 31st July 2025, with the contract period lasting from 1st August 2025 to 31st January 2026, encompassing an overall contract value of £16,920, of which £14,100 was non-taxed.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses in the medical equipment sector, particularly for those experienced in providing high-quality maintenance and breakdown services for sophisticated medical devices like ultrasound systems. Companies able to ensure seamless software integration within hospital systems stand to benefit significantly from such contracts. Additionally, this precedent of direct procurement without competition highlights potential pathways for existing equipment suppliers to expand their portfolios through similar tendering processes with other NHS bodies or public health organisations.
