Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City University procured a digital anatomy visualisation table for teaching anatomy. The equipment is intended to help students understand the human body’s complex three-dimensional form, bridging the gap between textbook descriptions or illustrations and interactive visual learning. It supports teaching across the university’s School of Life Sciences and Health and School of Nursing and Midwifery, which already use digital anatomy visualisation tables. The requirement included medical equipment and associated installation services. Delivery is for Birmingham City University in Birmingham. The university sought a solution that combined suitable technical capability, usability and compatibility with its teaching needs, while also representing value for money. This is a specialist education technology and medical equipment requirement for suppliers of digital anatomy systems and their installation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open, below-threshold competition. Birmingham City University evaluated one lot, with price weighted at 95% and quality at 5%. The enquiry deadline was 9 March 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 16 March 2026 at 12:00. The lot had an estimated gross value of £180,000. Anatomage Inc was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 13 May 2026 and is recorded as active, with a contract period from 4 May 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its stated gross and net value is USD 245,325. Bids were to be submitted through Delta, although electronic submission was marked as not allowed. The procurement was for goods, with installation included in the classification.

This award demonstrates demand from a higher education provider for specialist digital anatomy visualisation equipment used across life sciences, health, nursing and midwifery teaching. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply interactive systems capable of presenting complex human anatomy in three dimensions and of supporting teaching that goes beyond static textbook images. The buyer’s stated priorities indicate that usability and compatibility with existing educational needs are central, alongside technical capability and value for money. Relevant suppliers are therefore likely to combine medical or anatomy visualisation hardware with suitable software, implementation and installation expertise. Experience supporting university teaching environments, integrating with established departmental use, and demonstrating practical benefits to students and academic staff would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement returns.
