## Summary

The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has awarded a contract for replacing X-ray devices at the City Hospital. The procurement was carried out through a direct award method, given the specialist nature of the equipment and the limited availability of qualified suppliers. The process initiated with a tender and is now in the award stage, with the award being made on 21st May 2026. The contract, worth approximately £296,340 gross, will be fulfilled by Probo Medical Ltd, a supplier based in Gloucester. The contract period is set to begin on 18th June 2026 and conclude on 17th June 2027. Located in the UKF14 region, the project falls under the 'goods' category according to industry classification. Potential risks have been identified, such as the need for a maintenance contract post-warranty, highlighting the essential nature of technical expertise in these engagements.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in the medical equipment supply industry, particularly those equipped to offer technical services for complex medical devices like X-ray machines. Due to the specialised nature of the equipment, direct engagement with highly qualified suppliers was necessary, indicating that businesses with a strong portfolio in medical imaging devices and the capability to provide comprehensive support and maintenance services are well suited to such contracts. Companies looking to expand their footprint in the healthcare sector, especially those capable of demonstrating technical expertise and reliability in delivering high-value medical equipment, could find significant growth potential by participating in similar specialised procurement opportunities.
