## Summary

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a medical observation and training system for the new Endoscopy Unit at Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln. The requirement is an integrated audio-visual solution combining hardware and software for live viewing of clinical procedures during training. It also supports recording the audio and video of procedures or training sessions, followed by playback and review for teaching and debriefing. This is a healthcare technology and specialist audio-visual equipment requirement, classified under radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment (CPV 32000000). The work is for the Trust’s endoscopy service and is centred on the Lincoln County Hospital site. The procurement comprised a single lot covering the complete observation and training system rather than separate equipment packages or service categories.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. Scotia UK plc, an SME based in Edinburgh, was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 21 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £29,297 excluding VAT, or £35,156.40 including VAT, for the full contract duration. The contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2029, with a three-year duration and no extension options. The award covers one completed lot and the contract remains active. The outcome provides a clear example of this Trust procuring an integrated endoscopy observation, recording and training system through a direct below-threshold route rather than a competitive procedure.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the award indicates a requirement for a complete, integrated clinical audio-visual system rather than standalone cameras, displays or recording equipment. Credible capability would include designing and supplying hardware and software that can show live endoscopy procedures, capture synchronised audio and video, and support reliable playback, review, teaching and debriefing. Suppliers would need to understand the operational demands of an endoscopy unit and how observation and recording systems fit into clinical training. The selected provider was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller business. A strong competitor would therefore combine relevant healthcare installation experience with dependable technical integration, recording functionality and support for clinical education workflows.
