Notice Title
IVA - Ophthalmology - Cryo Machine (SEH)
Notice Description
University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust intends to award a contract to Rayner for the supply of compatible Cryo probes and provision of a Cryomatic console to support ophthalmic services. The requirement represents an extension of existing equipment and clinical pathways. A change in supplier would result in incompatibility and disproportionate technical and operational impacts. The direct award is justified under The Procurement Act Single Supplier Justification: Buy additional / partly replace existing goods, services or works same or compatible with existing.
Procurement Information
The goods/services are an extension or partial replacement of existing provision: The additional console is required to: 1. Meet increased demand 2. Maintain service continuity during hospital refurbishment Changing supplier would result in incompatibility or technical difficulty: 1. Replacement of existing console infrastructure 2. The Cryomatic system is embedded within established ophthalmic clinical pathways at Sussex Eye Hospital. Following recent refurbishment and the planned increase in patients, a second machine is needed to ensure capacity to meet the grwoing demands. 3. The current clinical pathway has been designed specifically around the functionality and performance of the existing Rayner Cryomatic system. Introducing alternative equipment at this stage could mean changes to clinical processes, retraining of staff.
