This procurement falls under the "Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products" industry category and is located in Clydebank, United Kingdom (UKM81). The tender process commenced and concluded in February 2025, with the contract being awarded on the 21st of February 2025. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication, specifically targeting Intuitive Surgical Limited due to their unique technical capabilities and lack of comparable alternatives, as stipulated under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Due to the above functionality the system seamlessly translates the surgeons hand, wrist and finger movements of the master controls into precise real time movements of the wristed instrument that are designed with seven degrees of motion - a range of motions even greater than the human wrist, The vision is equipped with a high definition 3D endoscope and image processing equipment that provides to true to life images of the patients anatomy. A view of the operating field is available to the entire operating room team on a large viewing monitor. The wide angled screen provides the surgical assistant at the patients side with a broad perspective and visualisation of the procedure whilst the surgeon operates seated at a console with the master controls viewing a high definition 3D image inside the patients body.
