The planned requirement combines medical devices, including endoscopes, with medical imaging services, medical and image-processing software, and software implementation or related support. It is primarily a goods procurement with associated services. The scope may therefore suit organisations involved in capsule endoscopy systems, endoscopy equipment, diagnostic imaging, clinical software, image analysis or healthcare technology implementation. NHS England is the buying organisation. The requirement is grouped into one planned lot and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. This procurement is at the planning stage and is intended to inform NHS England’s commercial strategy; it is not an invitation to tender. NHS England has scheduled preliminary market consultation, with responses expected through a request for information questionnaire by 21 September 2026. The buyer expects a subsequent notice on 30 October 2026. The planned contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, although the stated contracting dates are explicitly indicative and do not represent defined plans. The published financial envelope is also not defined: the stated gross value is a nominal £1. The procurement is above the applicable threshold and uses one lot, currently in planning. The consultation is relevant to suppliers preparing to support a future NHS colon capsule endoscopy requirement rather than seeking a contract at this stage. It should suit manufacturers and specialist distributors of capsule endoscopy and endoscopy equipment, providers of medical imaging or diagnostic services, and developers of clinical, medical imaging or image-processing software. Firms with experience implementing healthcare software and integrating diagnostic technology into clinical workflows are also likely to be well placed to contribute useful market insight. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises are expressly identified as suitable for the planned lot. Suppliers should prepare evidence of their product or service capability, NHS or healthcare delivery experience, implementation capacity and ability to support endoscopy-related diagnostic pathways. ## Notice Preliminary market consultation to inform the NHS commercial strategy for Colon Capsule Endoscopy (CCE).
