## Summary

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is procuring ultrasonic bone-cutter equipment and consumables for use with its existing Sonopet iQ platform. The requirement is for medical equipment and associated consumables, under a placement agreement, supporting the Trust’s established clinical practice in London. The equipment must be compatible with the existing Sonopet iQ system. The procurement covers one lot and relates to the Trust’s need to maintain its current platform rather than introduce an alternative system.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Stryker by direct award, using the stated legal route for a single supplier able to meet technical compatibility, interoperability and clinical standardisation needs. The Trust cited the implementation impact, retraining and disruption that an alternative would cause. The award date was 20 October 2026. The award value is £299,771.62 excluding VAT (£359,725.94 including VAT). The contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, with a proposed 1+1-year renewal structure and a maximum extent to 31 October 2028. One lot was awarded to Stryker; the recorded award status is pending.

For suppliers preparing for a future requirement from this Trust, this award indicates that the key differentiator is compatibility with the installed Sonopet iQ platform, alongside the ability to supply its ultrasonic bone-cutter equipment and consumables as a joined placement arrangement. The Trust’s stated rationale prioritised continuity, interoperability and clinical standardisation, and treated retraining and disruption from switching systems as significant concerns. A credible competitor would therefore need to demonstrate that its equipment works within the Trust’s existing platform and clinical workflows, and can support consistent use through reliable consumables supply. The direct-award route reflects the Trust’s stated view that only one supplier met those requirements in this procurement; suppliers seeking to compete in a later market would need to address these technical and clinical constraints directly.»}

## Notice

A direct award under PA23 Schedule 5 paragraph 6 will be utilised as only one supplier can meet the technical compatibility, interoperability and clinical standardisation requirements associated with the existing Sonopet iQ platform. No alternative supplier could be awarded without significant implementation impacts, retraining requirements and disruption to established clinical practice.
