UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited bought lung computer-aided detection (CAD) software for the radiology department at Sunderland Royal Hospital. The purchase was for medical software, rather than equipment or a broader hospital service. The named requirement is focused on supporting lung imaging within the hospital’s radiology work. The software was supplied by Canon Medical Systems Limited. The procurement therefore indicates demand from this buyer for specialist clinical software used in a hospital imaging department, with delivery in Sunderland, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Canon Medical Systems Limited. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026, with a contract period from 10 to 11 September 2026. Its value was £37,200 excluding VAT and £44,640 including VAT. The award was active, and the contract is recorded as active. No evaluation criteria are stated in the published procurement details; the route was a non-competitive direct purchase rather than a tender evaluated against competing bids.

For suppliers considering future comparable requirements from City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited, this purchase demonstrates demand for lung CAD software for Sunderland Royal Hospital’s radiology department. A credible competitor would need to provide software suited to clinical lung-imaging workflows and be able to supply it to a hospital radiology service. The selected supplier was Canon Medical Systems Limited, a large medical systems provider, and the purchase was made directly without competition. This outcome is relevant to specialist medical software vendors with an established healthcare offering, rather than general IT suppliers without an imaging product. The requirement was a focused software purchase, so suppliers should be positioned to meet this specific clinical need.
