UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for acquiring a "Capital - Vbeam Pro Laser System". This procurement falls under the category of surgical lasers, specifically for a Vbeam Pro Laser System 595, 1064, DCD with accessories. The procurement process followed a direct award method, justified by the unique specifications of the laser system required, which is exclusively available from Candela in the UK. Located in Prescot, at Whiston Hospital, the NHS Trust completed this procurement stage with contracts expected to commence on 2nd August 2026. The procurement focuses on goods, and it was necessary to fulfil within a specific technical and geographical framework. The formal award is set to be confirmed imminently, given the currently pending status since 20th July 2026.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in medical and surgical equipment. Businesses that can provide uniquely specified medical technologies, like Syneron Candela (UK) Limited, will likely find this type of contract aligning with their strategic offerings. Such opportunities foster potential long-term relationships with public health institutions and enhance market presence within the United Kingdom. Considering the technical specificity and sole supplier rationale, businesses that can innovate or provide exclusive medical equipment solutions may leverage these attributes for future bids.
