## Summary

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought two autorefractors for its ophthalmology service. Autorefractors are medical devices used to measure refractive error and support eye examinations. The goods were procured as a single lot, for use by the Trust in its hospital services. The requirement is for equipment rather than clinical services, installation works or a broader ophthalmology technology package. The buying organisation is Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Doncaster. The procurement describes the equipment and its clinical department but does not identify a specific delivery site within the Trust.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust made a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. CARLETON MEDICAL LTD was awarded the contract for the two autorefractors. The contract was signed on 29 March 2026 and runs from 30 March 2026 to 30 March 2027. Its stated value is £12,260 excluding VAT, or £14,712 including VAT. The procurement was a single lot, with no separate lot awards. The process data does not set out an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements; the route was a direct award rather than a competitive evaluation.

This purchase shows demand from the Trust for medical equipment used in ophthalmology, specifically autorefractors. A credible supplier for a comparable future requirement would need to supply the required autorefractor models and demonstrate that the equipment is suitable for clinical eye examinations. The award went to a medical equipment supplier, so firms with relevant ophthalmic equipment supply capability are the closest fit. The contract was a small, single-package purchase rather than a large multi-lot programme, and was placed directly without competition. Businesses should therefore treat it as evidence of a targeted equipment requirement from this NHS Trust, not as evidence of an open competitive route or demand for wider ophthalmology services.
