Summary of the contracting process

The Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). This procurement, classified under the CPV code 33112200 (Ultrasonic unit), involved a direct award to Cerno Health Ltd and falls within the healthcare sector. The procurement method used was a limited one, without a prior call for competition, justified as the procurement falls outside the directive's application scope. The awarded contract, worth £1,047,744, was signed on 31st July 2024, and the delivery of the ultrasonic unit is scheduled for the Royal United Bath Hospital located in the UKK1 region.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment, particularly those capable of providing advanced therapeutic ultrasound technology. Given the specific requirement and the procurement method, businesses with exclusive distribution rights or specialising in cutting-edge medical technologies would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. Moreover, companies interested in collaborations or sub-contracting with the likes of Cerno Health could benefit from enhanced market access and business growth within the highly specialised field of ultrasound medical devices.
