UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust procured services to upgrade the existing GE Healthcare SPECT/CT scanner at Velindre Cancer Centre. The project supports the Trust’s move to the new Velindre Cancer Centre and is intended to improve image quality, reliability and performance while extending the equipment’s working life by around 10 years. Continuing to use the existing scanner was identified as more cost-effective than replacing it, supporting the continued delivery of diagnostic imaging services. The requirement is primarily healthcare technology and software support, including software development, support and related IT services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for equipment used by Velindre Cancer Centre in Wales. The procurement comprised one completed requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. GE Healthcare Limited was selected on 3 August 2026 for the SPECT/CT software upgrade. The award is worth £28,136.40 excluding VAT, or £33,763.68 including VAT. The awarded service period runs from 1 March 2028 to 29 August 2029. A contract signature was scheduled for 14 August 2026. The requirement was handled as one lot, which is complete, and the award is below the applicable threshold. The named supplier is GE Healthcare Limited, a large supplier based in Buckinghamshire. The procurement uses Welsh devolved public-sector regulations and is managed by Velindre University NHS Trust.

This award demonstrates demand from Velindre University NHS Trust for specialist software support that improves the performance, reliability and image quality of an existing SPECT/CT scanner rather than replacing the equipment. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would need strong capability in medical imaging technology, SPECT/CT systems, healthcare software upgrades, systems integration and technical support. Experience maintaining or extending the life of installed diagnostic imaging equipment would help establish credibility, particularly where the buyer needs continuity of clinical services during a move to new facilities. Competitors would also benefit from understanding NHS healthcare environments, diagnostic imaging workflows and the operational importance of reliable equipment. The direct award to the original equipment provider indicates that proprietary system knowledge and compatibility with the installed GE Healthcare platform are commercially important.
