## Summary

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust bought a Seiler medical colposcope for the gynaecology department at Worthing Hospital. The purchase covers supply, installation and ongoing support of the equipment for the Trust’s colposcopy service. The device replaces a failing colposcope that was at high risk of breakdown, with spare parts unavailable. Its purpose is to maintain continuity of cervical screening and support compliance with national clinical standards. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, specifically a colposcope (CPV 33164100), rather than a broader imaging equipment procurement. Delivery and service activity are centred on Worthing Hospital in Worthing, West Sussex.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to NJ Devices Ltd, trading as Ocean Med. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The purchase was handled as one lot, which was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded award is £19,020 excluding VAT (£22,824 including VAT). The contract period runs from 15 October to 14 November 2026, and the award was recorded on 15 October 2026. The award is marked pending in the published data, while the overall tender and lot are marked complete. The stated requirement was for a Seiler medical colposcope, with supply, installation and ongoing support; the source does not set out evaluation criteria for this direct award.

For suppliers considering similar NHS equipment requirements, this award shows demand for a replacement colposcope that can sustain a hospital cervical screening service and meet relevant national clinical standards. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable medical colposcope together with installation and ongoing support, and demonstrate that the equipment can maintain service continuity. This is a focused, single-device supply rather than a large-scale equipment programme; the prior award went to an SME. The buyer used a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the procurement provides evidence of this Trust’s purchasing route for this specific requirement, rather than evidence of an open competitive evaluation or published technical scoring criteria. Suppliers with relevant colposcopy equipment, installation capability and dependable post-installation support are the closest fit.
