UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process organised by KCH Interventional Facilities Management LLP, situated in London, involves the award of a contract titled "Gastric Alimetry - Diagnostic Tests". This procurement falls within the industry category of diagnostic devices and endoscopy equipment, targeting challenges in non-invasive gastric electrical activity measurement. With the procurement stage set at award, the contract details were finalised on 22nd April 2026, concerning the delivery of goods that span a period beginning on 6th May 2026 and stretching until 5th May 2029. The contract includes a potential one-year renewal option and is justified as a direct award due to exclusive intellectual property rights owned by the supplier, ALIMETRY UK LIMITED. The contractual arrangement is poised to benefit from providing innovative gastric diagnostics to enhance patient care efficiency.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses operating in the healthcare technology sector, particularly those adept in supplying diagnostic devices and solutions. While the procurement method of direct award limits competitive bidding to businesses holding the requisite intellectual property rights, it nonetheless signifies significant commercial prospects for companies like ALIMETRY UK LIMITED, specialising in large-scale diagnostic solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) might find peripheral opportunities in supporting roles or future collaborations. This strategic approach, addressing specific medical diagnostic needs, sets a clear path for growth within the health sector, enhancing service offerings and strengthening market presence for businesses with aligned capabilities.
