Summary of the contracting process

Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust procured a specialist gastrointestinal (GI) high-resolution manometry system with maintenance for its GI physiology service in Bath. The equipment supports upper and lower gastrointestinal motility investigations, including high-resolution manometry, high-resolution impedance manometry and high-resolution anorectal manometry, as well as other advanced diagnostic studies. The requirement covers the Solar GI HRM system, specialist software, catheter technology, automated analysis tools, electronic medical record integration capability and training support. This is a diagnostic systems purchase, covering both the equipment and the associated maintenance and user support needed for the Trust to undertake specialist GI and neurophysiology investigations.

The procurement is complete and the award was made on 24 July 2026 through a direct award. LABORIE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES EUROPE LTD was selected for the single lot, with an awarded value of £113,484 excluding VAT and £136,181 including VAT. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with signature scheduled by 24 August 2026. The direct award was based on single-supplier technical reasons and urgency. The Trust required one integrated hardware and software platform, including a solid-state oesophageal catheter with 36 pressure channels, 16 impedance channels and an 8 French thickness. Alternative solutions were assessed as unable to meet the stated clinical and technical specification.

This award indicates demand for highly specialised GI diagnostic equipment rather than general medical-device supply. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this type would need a proven integrated platform covering upper GI, lower GI and neurophysiology investigations, with high-resolution manometry, impedance and anorectal capabilities. Credibility would depend on meeting the detailed catheter specification, including 36 pressure channels, 16 impedance channels and an 8 French profile, while supporting patient comfort and accurate clinical assessment. Relevant strengths would also include specialist software, automated analysis, electronic medical record integration, equipment maintenance and user training. The direct-award route shows that technical compliance, continuity of specialist diagnostic services and the ability to provide a complete supported system are central to this buyer’s purchasing decision.
