## Summary

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, working with Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, procured syringes and needles through a National Pricing Matrix agreement. The purchase covers medical consumables for use by the participating NHS trusts in Birmingham. The requirement is for the supply of syringes and needles, rather than clinical services or installation work. The award identifies Becton, Dickinson U.K. Limited as the supplier for this agreement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Becton, Dickinson U.K. Limited on 18 June 2026. The award value is £219,506.20 excluding VAT (£219,685.31 including VAT). It covers one lot, with a contract period from 15 October 2026 to 30 June 2029 and an option to extend for a further 12 months, to 30 June 2030. The contract was awarded under a framework using a selective procedure; the call-off was non-competitive. The published data gives no evaluation criteria or participation requirements. The award is active, and the agreement’s scheduled signature date was 15 October 2026.

This award shows demand across four Birmingham NHS trusts for a continuing supply of syringes and needles under a National Pricing Matrix agreement. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide medical consumables at a scale suited to multiple hospital and community healthcare organisations, and be able to support supply across the participating trusts. The selected supplier is a large medical products company, indicating that an established supplier with relevant product range and the capacity to serve a multi-trust agreement is well placed. The procurement was a non-competitive framework award, so this outcome does not establish an open-market competition or disclose what technical, quality or commercial factors led to the selection.
