## Summary

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust purchased a medical ultrasound probe exchange for Basildon. The requirement is identified as a 4Vc-D probe exchange, with the purchase description naming Modality Group. The goods fall within medical probes and medical equipment. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust, and the place associated with this requirement is Basildon, Essex. This is a focused equipment purchase rather than a broader clinical service or works contract; the published scope identifies the probe exchange but does not describe further equipment specifications or the clinical service in which it is used.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. Modality Group was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 22 October to 1 December 2026. Its value is £12,025 excluding VAT and £14,430 including VAT. The award is for the probe exchange, classified as medical probes and equipment. The procurement records do not state a separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the selection basis cannot be described beyond the limited competition route.

For suppliers assessing similar NHS equipment requirements, this purchase indicates demand for a specific ultrasound probe exchange at Basildon, rather than a broad equipment supply programme. A credible competitor would need to supply or exchange compatible medical probes and demonstrate that its equipment meets the Trust’s clinical and technical requirements. The selected supplier was Modality Group, an SME, showing that a smaller supplier was able to secure this focused purchase. The limited-competition route is relevant to suppliers prepared to compete in a restricted process, rather than relying on an open tender. Expertise in medical equipment supply and the capacity to fulfil a short, site-specific requirement would be pertinent when this buyer next needs the same probe exchange.
