## Summary

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought external ventricular drainage (EVD) systems and shunts from Medtronic Limited. This is a medical consumables requirement, covering the supply of products used in neurosurgical and related clinical care. Delivery is for the Trust’s operations in Cambridge, within the United Kingdom. The requirement was managed by the Trust as the buying organisation. The scope is focused on named EVD and shunt products rather than a broad medical supplies catalogue, so it is most relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist healthcare suppliers with an established range of neurosurgical drainage and shunt devices. Businesses serving NHS hospital environments and able to support product supply to Cambridge are the closest fit for comparable demand from this buyer.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, with one completed lot. Medtronic Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 28 July 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £73,195 excluding VAT, or £87,834 including VAT. The award covers medical consumables associated with the EVD and shunt supply. The available outcome shows an active award and active contract. This was a single-supplier route rather than an open tender, so the decision was made without competing bids. The published outcome identifies Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as the buyer and Medtronic Limited as the awarded supplier.

This award is a clear signal that Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has an established requirement for EVD and shunt products within its clinical services. A credible competitor for similar demand would need a dependable supply of neurosurgical drainage and shunt devices, product knowledge covering the specific clinical use, and the operational capacity to fulfil hospital orders consistently. Manufacturers and specialist distributors with NHS-facing experience, robust logistics and reliable stock management are well placed to compete when this type of requirement is next considered. The direct-award route and the selected supplier’s position indicate that product suitability, continuity of supply and confidence in the supplier relationship are commercially important features of this buyer’s market.
