Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is undertaking a procurement process to purchase a High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) system, specifically the Focal One i Treatment Module, through a direct award method. The procurement is in the award stage, with an emphasis on goods within the medical equipment category. The award is scheduled to begin contractually on 27 March 2026 and conclude by 26 March 2027. This unique opportunity, valued at £590,000 excluding VAT, is justified by the product's unparalleled regulatory certifications, as the only CE-marked HIFU system enabling fully robotic treatment for prostate ablation. Companies interested should be aware of the milestone for a future contract signature expected by 18 March 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for medical equipment suppliers, particularly those specialising in innovative and niche products like robotic treatments. Given the unique nature of the HIFU system being sought, businesses with a strong track record in medical technology and those capable of demonstrating technical and regulatory excellence will be well-suited for this procurement. As the process focuses on a direct award, companies should ensure they comply with technical specifications and possess credentials that meet the central government's procurement standards, thereby fostering potential growth and partnership with a major public health service provider.
