The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, in collaboration with the Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust, has completed a direct award process for the procurement of Netspot Kits (Gallium Ga 68 Dotatate). The procurement process, classified under the industry category of 'goods' and specifically 'laboratory reagents', addresses a need for diagnostic materials crucial for patient treatment within the NHS. Based in London, this contract, resulting from a direct award due to unique supply conditions, has a total value of £380,160 (gross) and is set to span from 19th December 2025 to 31st October 2026. Key dates include the completion of the award on 8th December 2025, with a standstill period ending on 17th December 2025.
