UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement of a Neurosurgery Robot under a direct award method. This procurement process falls within the 'award' and 'contract' stages, focusing on goods that meet specific clinical needs. It commenced on 6th March 2026 and is set to have its contract period from 19th March to 20th March 2026. The procurement was addressed to the industry category of operating-theatre instruments, with the transaction amounting to a gross value of £627,000. Located in Sheffield, United Kingdom, the contracting authority aims to bolster its paediatric surgical capabilities using highly specialised equipment that guarantees clinical accuracy and reduces adoption risks.

The direct procurement of the Neurosurgery Robot, especially suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), presents a unique opportunity for suppliers within the medical technology sector to engage in high-value contracts catering to advanced medical needs. Businesses that focus on precision surgical instruments and healthcare solutions could benefit significantly from observing such tenders as they often entail long-term collaboration with major healthcare providers like the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. Given the specificity and technical demands of the Neuromate robot, organisations with expertise in robotic healthcare solutions are particularly well-suited to meet the challenging requirements set by buyers within central government public authorities.
