## Summary

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust bought two automated controlled-drug storage and tracking cabinet configurations for its Royal Sussex County Hospital and Princess Royal Hospital sites. The supply comprises main and auxiliary cabinets at each location, intended to support secure storage and tracking of controlled drugs. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, rather than a general pharmacy or medicines purchasing contract. The two named hospital sites define the delivery locations and the equipment configuration. The Trust is the buying organisation, and Becton Dickinson Dispensing UK Ltd was selected to supply the cabinets.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Becton Dickinson Dispensing UK Ltd was selected. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 15 October 2026 to 30 October 2027. Its value is £78,560.48 excluding VAT, or £90,060.30 including VAT. The requirement was handled as one lot, covering the cabinet configurations for both hospitals. The published outcome identifies medical equipment as the awarded category; it does not set out a scored evaluation basis or separate award value for either site.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from University Hospitals Sussex, this award indicates demand for integrated controlled-drug storage and tracking equipment, with both main and auxiliary cabinet configurations across hospital sites. A credible competitor would need to supply automated cabinets suited to hospital medicines workflows and provide tracking capability alongside secure storage. The selected supplier is a large specialist dispensing-equipment business, indicating the buyer’s choice in this instance, but the procurement does not establish formal accreditation, minimum capacity or experience thresholds. The direct, non-competitive route used here is relevant evidence of how this specific purchase was made; it does not set out a basis on which alternative suppliers were assessed. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate product suitability and deliver a configured solution across multiple clinical locations.
