Summary of the contracting process

Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust intends to purchase a gamma camera, a medical imaging system used in nuclear medicine. The requirement is described as provision of a gamma camera for the Trust. This is a goods procurement, with one lot, and delivery is in Surrey, England. The equipment is intended for use by the hospital; the scope identified is the camera itself.

The procurement is at the planning stage: the Trust has stated its intention to buy, but has not yet invited tenders. It plans to undertake preliminary market engagement, with the engagement milestone scheduled for 6 November 2026. The buyer expects a further notice on 20 November 2026. The estimated value is £1.2 million excluding VAT (£1.32 million including VAT). The planned contract period runs from 1 March 2027 to 29 February 2028. The requirement is divided into one lot. No procedure or evaluation approach is set out at this planning stage.

This requirement is most relevant to suppliers able to provide gamma-camera equipment for a hospital setting, including medical imaging equipment manufacturers and specialist medical technology suppliers. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable for the single lot, so the purchase is not explicitly restricted to large suppliers. The stated scope centres on supplying the camera; suppliers whose offer covers this equipment and its delivery are the closest fit. The Trust’s planned market engagement gives relevant suppliers a chance to understand and inform its developing requirement before the tender stage. No particular technical specification, accreditation, installation, maintenance or support capability is described yet, so suppliers should assess those aspects when the procurement reaches market.
