## Summary

The procurement process for Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust involves the direct award of a contract for providing Bipolar Electrosurgical Platforms and associated consumables. The Trust, located in Nottingham, UK, operates within the healthcare industry and the procurement stage is marked as complete, with a contract period set to begin from 25 February 2026 and end on 24 February 2029. The tender, valued at over £452,000 GBP, focuses on medical equipment under the goods procurement category, with Uniphar Medtech UK Limited as the key supplier. A direct award method was employed, as the platforms are already operational within the Trust, necessitating immediate functionality to avoid significant disruption in patient services. Key dates include the standstill period ending on 24 February 2026, and the contract signing scheduled for 25 February 2026.

This procurement presents opportunities for growth, primarily for suppliers specialising in medical equipment and consumables within the healthcare sector. Businesses focusing on innovative surgical technology can find prospects for expansion by aligning with the needs of NHS Trusts like Nottingham University Hospitals. While the contract has been directly awarded, ways to collaborate or integrate support services with such large public authority organisations could open avenues for future engagements. Additionally, firms providing efficient supply chain management and competitive pricing for consumables would be well-positioned to engage with similar procurements, leveraging existing frameworks or direct agreements. Uniphar Medtech UK Limited's involvement indicates that large-scale suppliers continue to be favoured, presenting a preference for established partners in public healthcare provisioning.

## Notice

Loan agreement to cover 5 Bipolar Electrosurgical Platforms. The systems are already in use in the Trust. The agreement is to provide free of charge capital equipment, provided 700 units of consumables are purchased annually.

### Procurement Information

The bipolar electrosurgical platforms are already in place in the Trust. The service is now operating without any functional machines, with immediate and significant impact on patient pathways. Although the consumables are available on an NHSSC Framework (Endoscopy, Endourology and Oncology Ablation Consumables and Associated Products), the supplier has agreed to honour the current pricing direct pricing (which was in place prior to the framework going live) which is significantly more favourable.
