Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited is buying out the existing lease for the interventional fluoroscopy system in Room 5 at Sunderland Royal Hospital. The equipment is an X-ray fluoroscopy system used for interventional procedures, which rely on live X-ray imaging to guide clinical work. The requirement concerns the transfer of the current leased system rather than a stated purchase of new equipment or a wider hospital imaging service. The system is located at Sunderland Royal Hospital in Sunderland. The buyer is the commercial enterprise associated with the hospital, and Siemens Financial Services Limited is the current lessor as well as the selected supplier.

The procurement is complete and resulted in a direct award to Siemens Financial Services Limited. The buyer’s stated reason for using this route is that Siemens Financial Services already owns the system. The award date was 5 October 2026, and the awarded value is £364,000 excluding VAT (£432,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 19 to 23 October 2026. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering the lease buyout for the interventional fluoroscopy system. No comparative evaluation criteria are stated; the published rationale for the direct award is the supplier’s existing ownership of the equipment.

This award indicates that the buyer’s requirement was for a specific installed interventional fluoroscopy system and resolution of its existing lease, rather than a competitive supply of new imaging equipment. A supplier competing when a similar requirement returns would need to understand hospital fluoroscopy equipment and be able to address ownership, lease and asset-transfer arrangements for an installed system. The route used here depended on the incumbent lessor’s ownership, so a credible competitor would need a clear way to meet the buyer’s requirement where ownership or leasing rights are relevant, alongside the capability to support continuity of specialist imaging equipment at a hospital. The opportunity was a focused, single-system transaction, rather than a broad equipment or clinical-services package.
