## 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 under a National Pricing Matrix agreement. This is a medical consumables supply requirement serving NHS organisations in Birmingham. The award record identifies medical consumables as the product category; it does not break the requirement down into specific syringe or needle types, quantities or delivery sites. The procurement was arranged as a single lot and awarded to one supplier, so the requirement was handled as one package rather than separated into product lots.

The procurement is complete and the contract 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). The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 30 June 2029, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, to 30 June 2030. The award was made through a selective procedure under an existing framework, without a competitive call-off. Evaluation criteria are not stated in the published process data. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the syringes and needles requirement for the participating Birmingham NHS trusts.

This award shows demand from four Birmingham NHS trusts for a consolidated supply of syringes and needles through a National Pricing Matrix framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply medical consumables at the scale and breadth required across multiple hospital and community healthcare organisations, and to operate effectively within a framework-based purchasing route. The successful supplier was a large medical products company, indicating that the buyer selected an established supplier for this requirement. The published information does not describe particular product specifications, delivery capabilities or accreditations, so suppliers should assess their own ability to meet NHS purchasing and product requirements rather than infer technical criteria from the award alone.
