Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals Subsidiary Company Limited procured abdominal compression equipment for radiotherapy. The requirement is categorised as medical equipment and is titled Radiotherapy Abdo Compression. The equipment supports radiotherapy treatment, specifically abdominal compression, for the buyer’s healthcare services. The contracting organisation is based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. The procurement covered one requirement rather than a separately described set of lots. The awarded supplier, Oncology Imaging Systems Limited, is based in East Sussex and operates as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers, specialist distributors and healthcare equipment suppliers with products for abdominal compression during radiotherapy. Businesses serving NHS or hospital customers, and those able to supply and support specialist radiotherapy equipment, would be closest to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Oncology Imaging Systems Limited. The contract was signed on 27 May 2026, has an active period from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027, and is valued at £32,855 excluding VAT (£39,426 including VAT). The buyer used a direct award under a WE2 waiver exemption. It was a below-threshold procedure conducted without competition, rather than an open tender. The requirement comprised one completed lot. The selected supplier is Oncology Imaging Systems Limited. The award concerns medical equipment for radiotherapy abdominal compression. The contracting process is recorded under the title Radiotherapy Abdo Compression, with the contract sharing the same title. The contract remains active for its stated period.

This procurement demonstrates a defined hospital requirement for specialist equipment used in radiotherapy abdominal compression, rather than general medical supplies. Competitors seeking to serve this buyer would need a product specifically suited to abdominal compression during radiotherapy and the ability to supply medical equipment for clinical use. Credibility would also depend on understanding hospital procurement requirements, supporting installation or use where required, and demonstrating that equipment is suitable for the relevant radiotherapy environment. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be served by a focused specialist business rather than only a large healthcare conglomerate. Specialist manufacturers, authorised distributors and suppliers with established NHS or hospital delivery experience are the most relevant comparators for this buyer’s requirement.
